Angelina Jolie is a really interesting person. She’s undeniably gorgeous, she seems involved in and informed on world politics, and she actually seems to have a genuine concern and care for those less fortunate than herself. That being said, she’s looking to adopt another child…and the Daily Mail reports that she was recently tangled in Burmese red-tape, so she’s looking to adopt in the Philippines for child number seven.
Yes, that’s 7!!’It’s not for me to say how many is “too many.” Heck, I don’t have any kids at all But it seems to me if you and your partner both can’t strap one on your body and hold hands on each side with one (that would be six children) that you would be getting to critical mass.
Your thoughts? Is it too many or am I just a jerk for pointing this out?

Its way too many lol.
I feel like a jerk also but I have to agree with you. It’s like she’s obsessed.
It’s too many….
She did her “good deed” with the first adoption, and went above and beyond with her second adoption.
Now her focus should be on raising her kids.
I don’t care. She obviously can afford to take care of them and send them through college if that’s their choice. Here’s a person that loves a big family and she’s doing it in a way that isn’t affecting the world population. Not like the Octuplets’ Mom.
I say kudos’ to Angelina.
Have to disagree. As long as all her children can all be given an equal amount of attention, love and care, and as long as they don’t feel like they’re being emotionally neglected in any way, then she can adopt as many kids as she likes.
If it gets too much for her, and she can’t do that, then it is too many, because neglect is actually worse for a child’s mental health than physical abuse. But if she can, and the child she’s adopting faced the prospect of neglect in the place they originally came from, she’s doing a big service.
I don’t think it’s to many not for her, she has the means to take care of these children. had she not have then it would be too many but as long as she can provide and love them why not.
it would be awsome to have her as a mom, her kids would certainly never want for anything. Ive met her thru my circle of friends. she is a warm and caring person. a kid should be so lucky.
Hey, in case you’ve forgotten the nuclear family was 9-12 children less than 100 years ago. My mother comes from a family of 9 children at that was considered small then. If they can afford and want the children (and these should be the salient points) then more power to them. Butt out, it’s non of your business to dictate how many children this family chooses to have/adopt. Have you noticed how much they have given back to multiple communities? Evidently they are capable of working, providing community service and raising good citizens. More than most of us can say….
