Thinking about adoption but afraid that a) all the
good ones are gone; b) people will think you’re copying Angelina; or c) that
do-gooding money could be better spent on a Prius? Dr. Jane Aronson,
pediatrician, adoption specialist and founder of the Worldwide Orphans
Foundation sat down with Ada Calhoun in this week’s Infant Industry and
explained why you would be wrong in those assumptions.
Dr. Aronson has been dedicated in her quest to ensure the health of adopted
(international and domestic) children for over a decade, working closely with
many of those celebrities we love to analyze. Aronson gives clean answers to
the muddy questions that arise around the subject of adoption and dismantles typical fears without sugar coating the
realities of adopting from countries that are plagued by AIDS and other
infectious diseases. And while guessing the reproductive status of the
Jolie-Pitt family is practically a daily sport here at Babble, the doctor also
explains why we really should look to Angelina as role model, rather than punch
line.
