Why is Adoption such a big issue?

It's funny to me that next to the news of which celebrities are boning who, the next biggest news item is who is adopting. It's a big deal when celebrities adopt. And they usually adopt cute little babies who would not have a chance at a good life, and now will grow up in a loving family.

So what? There are so many older (4-10 year old) children in orphanages and foster homes around the world that need help. Why do we care that celebrities are adopting babies? Lots of couples want to adopt babies. But the other children need help too.

It's amazing how having and raising children has turned into being so much about the parents; what about it being about the child? Now there's a thought.
