Gwyneth Paltrow Catches Adoption Bug
Sat, 09 February 2008 at 9:35 pm
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.”

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.
I thought shw was pregnant ??
Go for it Gwen!There are way too many homeless orphans out here.
Yes you do have the means so some fortunate little boy or girl will make a great sib for your two cuties.
I hate when people talk about people they don’t know.. Chris Martin has always been at the forefront of issues - especially where Africa is concerned. In fact he has visited many countries on that continent and has done a lot of charity work.
Please stop talking nonsense..
And if they adopt an African child, it is their business and their right!

Lisa @ 02/09/2008 at 10:14 pm GP and CM seem racist, I can’t see them adopting an African kid.
Gwynnie ls looking trannylicious these days!
She said nothing wrong, only the truth about america! There is allot of violence! thats a fact! its not save, the paparazzi is crazy and dangerous. So what anti america thing she said isnt true?
Give her a break. She is honest, she spoke the truth, all you american need to wake up and do something to make your world safer!
I for one been in america 4 times. To diffrent states to see if its the same everywere. And my conclussion is. She is right. I would never ever want to live in america in this condition. with this goverment and violence.
Get over yourself and accept some critisisment. The whole world is getting fucked up because nobody looks at there own mess but have an oppinion off there own.
WORST off all, the rest of the world is following america as a herd of sheep. All countries are starting to get the same.
I pitty my grandkids to live in the futere.
Ok, her recent (or past) comments about the paparazzi are not the ones that upset so many ppl. Her ignorant remarks have been rehashed again and again. I think the ones asking already know this so please stop with the bait and switch tactics.
Is that Gwyneth Paltrow? She looks like Tilda Swinton.
I am sure she must fear the lack of genetic control over an adopted child; I mean…the kid might be….ugly. oh god.
oh this is stupid, if you’re gonna adopt then do it for a good reason not because it’s the latest trend or because you think it will change the world.
You can’t just adopt a kid because you want to do something ‘good’. It’s a huge undertaking and requires a lot from both family and child. it is also a long, strenuous procedure and it is definately not right for everyone. If you just wanna help children in need then become a sponsor for a child in another county or give money to a respected charity that has proven to be effective. do the research and don’t be naive…
Cute shoes! Anyone know what brand?
that kid’s got a serious case of marty feldman eyes.
People really do need to get over her misquote about Americans. It’s yesterday’s news.
BTW, the quote about the adoption thing is like three separate quotes about three separate things, all put into one. Gosh, the media is so original.
She just wants more kids to give horrible names to. If she wants to share the wealth, she should become a foster parent. But then she couldn’t go around calling them things like Banana and Rambutan and Jebediah!
She wasn’t “misquoted” about Americans. She was requoted from previous interviews. She tried to blame it on a lost in translation thing, but the newspaper that quoted her explained they got her comments from UK interviews. The U.S. media never published the paper’s reply and continues to recycle the incorrect misquote explanation.
Given the ignorance of her remarks, I don’t think people are going to “get over it” anytime soon and I really can’t blame them.
I used to be a big fan of Gwyneth Paltrow’s…but lately, not so much.
She blames herself for the demise of her relationship with Brad Pitt. She said her “heart sort of broke forever that day” - even hinting at being the one who cheated. Then when Pitt and Aniston split, Paltrow gave her two cents worth in to the media (knowing Pitt would hear it) and said that Pitt and Aniston should not have spoken about each other and their relationship in public, stating “I learnt my lesson at 24.” Then Pitt got with Jolie, adopted kids…now suddenly Paltrow is speaking out about adopting (again knowing Pitt will hear it). While staying at the same hotel, Paltrow complained to the press, about the paparrazi, asking “Will the paparrazi go when they (Pitt and Jolie) go?”
Seems to me she regrets the Pitt break-up and wishes she was Jolie. Lots of people are on and on and on about Chinnifer Maniston’s ‘pain’….seems to me Paltrow is regretting too.
I hope Paltrow’s career gets better from now on. She is an amazing talent. She can act well, do faultless accents and is blessed to have a lovely family. I hope she gets to manage her career and family life well.
Best wishes to everyone
