[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually had to turn it off when she announced this. I don’t have a problem with the age, but I do think she was able to get a newborn so quickly due to money. Also, she’s must work 60-70 hrs a week and when could she see the baby other than sleeping.

We do not know the circumstances of the adoption. However, she’s using her wealth to HELP children who could possibly be lost in the foster system and giving them a life that many children in the US could never hope to have. Most parents these days work long hours and hardly see their children, but somehow those children manage to survive. I’m sure Hoda can afford a nanny or two, or she may reduce her workload. Why would you have a problem with this?[/quote]

Those are very young kids.  There are plenty of families available to adopt them.  She will no the parenting them and she will work long hours.  The issue is her age and she may not make it till their 18th birthday.  [/quote]

How do you know there are plenty of families available to adopt them? And how do you know those families have the resources to take care of them.

There are over 440,000 children in the U.S. foster care system. They all deserve families of their own and Hoda has reached out to take care of two from birth.

Celebrate it.[/quote]

PP here and my comment about this got buried a couple pages back.

My parents were foster parents for newborn babies; they cared for them while the mother decided to go through with the adoption or not. Newborns are adopted very quickly. There is a very, very long wait (years) to adopt a newborn.

Hoda is NOT a savior. If the baby had not been adopted by her, she would have been adopted by another family. Hoda didn’t rescue this child from a lifetime of foster care. [/quote]

Okay, say that's true. Why is one family more 'deserving' of a foster child than another when many kids are languishing in the system.

Hoda has the means and the love available to give those kids a fantastic life. I don't get why you think she shouldn't be able to adopt these girls that she clearly desires and loves.[/quote]

PP here and I agree. I don't care that she adopted them. I am arguing the idea of "thank God she "saved" this child from a possible life in foster care" because that, she did NOT do. [/quote]
