Gwyneth Paltrow Catches Adoption Bug

Gwyneth Paltrow Catches Adoption Bug

Gwyneth Paltrow hops into her SUV with 3-year-old daughter Apple and 1-year-old son Moses (not pictured) in New York City on Saturday.

At Madonna’s latest benefit gala, A Night to Benefit Raising Malawi and UNICEF, Gwyn may have caught the celebrity baby-adoption bug:

“People who have a lot also often feel like they have a lot to give,” said Paltrow. “I have a good friend who always says that if you’re a person of means at all, then you have to adopt because there are so many kids in the world who need homes.”

SHE'S GROSS @ 02/10/2008 at 1:53 am

SHE’S UGLY AND LOOKS LIKE A DUDE.

There she is! I thought I smelled fishticks. :-)

that girl is so cute

Yes, people of means that want to give an orphan a home, should adopt, and they should consider adopting a child with special needs. They, are the only ones that can afford the medical treatments.

She hates america! she’s just in the big apple because she’s filming another bomberific movie.

Apple is so adorable.

GP and CM seem racist, I can’t see them adopting an African kid.

Thats what i thought at first, but they’re not, they and JZ are like BFF and he stayed at their home in England for a weekend , and JZ said they’re good people and the kids are great.
He said they treaded him like family. JZ even said that Chris trying to show him that having kids is a blessing. It had JZ thinking that he wanted a family like his.

Just because she says she feels a responsibility to adopt doesn’t eliminate wanting to, too.

Apple really cute. She looks like her dad to me. Some Blythe.

Just because she says she feels a responsibility to adopt doesn’t eliminate also wanting to as a factor in actually deciding to adopt.

Apple is cute. She looks like her dad to me. A little like Blythe.

Gawd she’s a moron. Just because you’re of means doesn’t mean you adopt. You adopt because you feel compelled to do so because you really and truly want to make a child a part of your family, your life.

People don’t need to adopt. They should stop having unwanted kids. Abort. Don’t add to the problem. Don’t BUY children. The supply will never end. People SELL their children. Can’t blame them. Who wants those anyway. People suck. And there are TOO MANY!

Sorry, but Paltry did make those anti-US comments, what’s even more stupid, she’s said different anti-American things at several different times. It’s not just one or two things. She does it all the time. She also dismissed and cut down British men, before marrying one. She’s always sticking her big foot in her mouth, and having to apologize about what comes out of it. She’s a dimwit.

Oh, and that’s a really great profound comment on adoption by your ‘friend,’ Gwen. Gee…’Adopt because there are a lot of kids who need good homes.’ Why the f**k do you even have to QUOTE a ‘friend,’ to even say that? Like isn’t that what anyone and everyone has always said about adoption…what a DOOFUS this hag is!

That’s like saying, I have a really good friend, who always says, “Airport checkpoints are a pain.”

Wow. How lucky Paltry is to have a ‘friend,’ like that who helps her out by stating the obvious. Does she have ‘friends,’ who tell her that the “sun is going to set,” also??

Dumb azz.

Why does she need to be told by a friend that she should adopt because she is a person of means and that there are many kids in the world who needs home, can she not figfure it out herself? Hello??
Gwyneth is not only a snob but an idiot!

Ayway, she should realize that just because her friend said so that she should adopt, she should do so. She should have a bigger reason for doing so and that it should be right for her and her husband. Honestly, I dont think she would be a good adoptive mother or parents, especially that that she and Chris are always apart from each other.

for the tEnth million time : SHE DID NOT SAY THOSE THINGS ABOUT AMERICA. you people are so stupid. She’s from NyC, loves the city, her husband is from England so they live in both places. I can’t waIT FOR HER NEW MOVIES TO COME OUT, SHE ‘S A REAL ACTRESS, FASHION ICON, A TRUE STAR.

Lisa - your comments that Gwyneth and her husband ’seem’ racist is totally unfounded and totally unfair. Chris Martin has worked on Fair Trade and Oxfam projects for the last ten years, working with people from all cultures and races.

Anyway, she didn’t even say they were adopting or that it would be from overseas - just that there were lots of kids that need good homes. That includes the US and UK. Good for them if they decide to go ahead - from whatever country.

People should give them a break and stop putting words in her mouth.

Maybe if a few of you judgemental ******** read the news instead of only gossip items you’d know that an orphan from a developing and/or war-torn nation would be probably be very happy to be taken into GP’s family-regardless of her fashion sense. Those children have a daily existence that would be horrifying to most of you!

And besides that, the very notion that you know ANYTHING about a person based upon malicious gossip is IDIOTIC beyond words. Yes, GP made anti-American statements-ever hear of FREE SPEECH? The last time she spoke about having issue w/ the US, it was because she was mobbed outside the hospital. How would any of you like to be met by a mob of jockeying paps when checking out the hospital and feeling like crap?

Stick with the self-centered Hollywood trolls who don’t give a damn about the state of the world! Titter over their trips to rehab and them wearing the latest trend, even if it looks ridiculous. Pick on them! But leave people’s children alone-that’s so unfair.

Get a life folks! Go out and do something creative, or charitable and make the world a better place. All you’re doing here is spewing bile which shows more about you all than about any celebrity-no matter how annoying he or she might be!

I don’t think GP/CM are racsist and don’t care about off hand US v.England remarks. No one should adopt because they think they Have too.This selfish self absorbed woman should just continue to donate and not bring a human being into her home that will not be loved like Madonna’s future bus boy.

I get a feeling they are racist. I don’t care how they grab JZ. They seem racist to me to. GP seem so uneducated she just needs to shut her stupid mouth. All of her movies SLlCK.

Wait a minute - “Hops into her SUV”. Did I just read that right? What a hypocrite. This is the same woman who denounced SUV makers and called them terrorists. (Do a Google search for “Act Green”and “Gwyneth Paltrow”.) Why does she need an SUV in New York City anyway? What happened to her “hybrid” or better yet using public transportation? Oh wait, she’s got the same mentality as the rest of Hollywood. “Do as I say, not as I do”. What a joke!

Cris Martin has been at the forefront of fighting poverty and ending world debt in African countries. They are very very supportive of Africa. Please research before attacking the Coldplay frontman - he is quite progressive and so is Gwyneth - she just is quieter about it than Madonna.

Yes, shame on them! They are so stupid and evil! They are 100% racists, they are… What a damned luck that all the people here are so wise and clever. Wake up. Get real. Stop accusing someone you don´t even know. Be careful with your judgement. That´s all I wanted. Thanks.

Why does it seem twisted to me that adopting a child has become this great humanitarian act?
One shouldn’t decide to adopt out of charity!!!!
Like a person said earlier, you adopt because you want a child to become part of your family!
If these people want to take part in great humanitarian acts, why don’t they take action by helping FAMILIES stay together, by speaking out about mass massacres happening throughout the world or sending their millions to countries that can’t afford aids medication because big pharmaceutical companies refuse to lower their damn prices.
Or the food industry that throws away , daily, enough food to nourish all of Africa (see “We feed the world”)! Maybe people could actually feed their own children instead of being pressured into selling them off to rich Europeans and Americans.
For those of you that have heard of the Zoe’s Arch scandal …. what makes people think that a child will be happier just because his adoptive parents are rich and famous as opposed to living in his own country and culture? How many of these kids are REALLY orphans and would it not be morally better for them to be raised by family members (aunts, uncles etc) in their own country?
What kind of culture do we live in to think that because we’re richer, we have a right to sweep these children away from their culture AND EVEN BETTER YET, justify it under the false pretense of humanitarian acts to appease our conscious.

conscience too… love finishing off with a spelling mistake :>/ lol

I love her.
She IS very smart, that’s why she tries to get away from shallow Hollywood as far as possible.

Can’t blame her,

Perhaps she has been misquoted in the past. I can’t say that she’s made xenophobic remarks because her remarks actually tend to be anti-American, but I think adoption agencies might question her openess to ALL cultures. Of course, she may be planning a domestic adoption. If she goes the international route, I hope she’ll stop making comparative cultural remarks. They’re hurtful and they make one doubt her intelligence.
