Page Six reports Leonardo DiCaprio has adopted a South African child he met at an orphanage while filming Blood Diamond. Although instead of actually raising the child he’s decided to send her a monthly support check and parent her by phone. I’m not entirely sure what that means, but they keep using the word “adopt” so I’m assuming he’s actually adopted her. But the description doesn’t sound like it qualifies as an adoption. Otherwise I could go around saying I’ve adopted the guy who works at the local 7-Eleven. Or pretty much any other person I throw my tremendous wealth at. And when I say tremendous I mean tremendous. I don’t want to brag, but I drive a Toyota, ladies. Camry.
In one sense, it’s nice that some lucky impoverished kids are catching a break, however the motives behind these adoptions could be a little suspect, as these spoiled, self-important celebrities now seem to have exploited kids from Africa or Asia as being a trendy new accessory item.
They went from Chihuahuas and jumped straight to humans, completely shutting out chimps and gnomes.

If you think interracial adoption only occurs in western lifstyle,think again.Since the eighties it occurs also frequently in Japan.Most of those adoptees come from the African continent,such countries as Ethiopia and Somalia.The funny thing is generally these adoptive parents are most at the time tight christians…
(53)OwWW,i forgot Sri Lanka,Indonesia and some other countries…Anyway,they adopt anything which don’t look obviously Asian…
boy, this adoption thing is really
better than hiring another
publicist.
When is the last time anyone talked about
Leo?
I’m gonna go with the Michael Richards
one as well.
If anyone needs the magical PR powers
of a little black orphan, its Kramer.
Dont laugh: Angelina was the butt of
jokes three years ago with her blood
fetish with Billybob, sucking her
brothers face and being a total whack
job.
She hasnt dont anything worth while
(anyone say Mr-Mrs Smith gets Kramerized)
yet she has gotten amazing press.
The little black magic workers seem
to have less work ahead with Richards who
had just one meltdown, Jolie on the other
hand was ready for the loonie bin.
thats very nice of him.
So adoption is the fashion trend of 2007 …

i have my money on Paris Hilton as the next person to “adopt” and african baby.
A little research will show you that there are a lot of German couples coming to America to adopt Black babies. I’m so confused.
This whole adoption thing has just gotten out of control! And to all the girls who are going on and on about how hot he is, you all need your eyes checked! He’s so ugly!
if people would adopt kids from AMERICA maybe there wouldn’t be so many kids in foster care just counting the days until they get a ‘mommy and daddy’… so sad they think they have to be trendy and adopt from other countries…
wow – he’s really a commitment phobe…why not just get a puppy?
lol, that’s hardly an adoption….he needs to do more than that if he’s gonna keep up with the madonna’s and jolie’s
Leo is doing something good, and I think it’s cool. He never asked for any publicity about it, and I don’t think he did it to prove he isn’t a racist. If Paris Hilton adopted an African baby, then I’d use some of these sentiments to describe her. He is very very hot, and I wouldn’t mind him taking me home. He could be my Daddy any day. But, I digress. He’s just one of the few decent people left in Hollywood. He also nearly took a bullet for a costar, but refused to talk about it because he didn’t want a big deal made out of him. African children are as beautiful as any other children, and to say “I wonder if he adopts pretty babies ” is just cruel. (I get that it’s a wordplay on your screen name, but still…) Just my humble opinion, so don’t get mad at me.
I’m sure Leo would rather use a jagged vacuum hose to “Milk” himself rather than have some AIDS infested perv do it, so keep the comments on subject, you shameless slut. Anyway, he’s just a nice person, and he doesn’t do kind things to get press for it, or to prove he’s not racist. Why would he need to prove that? Sounds like this forum has been taken over by the KKK. What’s next? An argument over who gets to wear the black hood first? Leo is a genuine person, and he’s set apart from the other celebs because he’s the coolest one, and he’s down to earth. Give the man a break.
