I picked up this Us Weekly because I wanted to hear about their In Vitro story and after I read it, I couldn't stop thinking about it. According to the trashy mag, they turned to in vitro not due to any sort of infertility problem, but because they couldn't stay in the same place long enough to get pregnant. Huh? So this brings me to my dilemma. It's not as if they couldn't afford to do it that way, so money really wasn't a factor. They weren't taking resources away from the people who really want to have kids and can't. Then why am I so perturbed about this?
I do have some opinions about this couple in general, I mean EW! She said she would never sleep with a married man and yet, her first biological kid was conceived before he signed his divorce papers. Not to mention her random adopting of kids every year. I am all for adoption, but give the kid time to adjust to their new lifestyle before you start making him/her fight for her place in the family. She just seems to be maladjusted. Not to mention him, hello? You were married, you don't start chasing after your leading ladies, just because you married someone younger than who wasn't ready to start a family yet.
But I digress. What do you think about the super rich using In Vitro and other fertility treatments when they don't get what they want fast enough? Will this lead to selective breeding, ie now we want a brown hair brown-eyed girl, so only implant embryos whose genetic code guarantees that. Or is it just me? Discuss...please!
Oh, I will most likely return to normal programming next time. Unless I read something weird about the Obamas in the new People. And don't tell me you can't believe everything you read. It seems like in Hollywood, where there's smoke there is most definitely some sort of weird fire.

I occasionally buy a People Magazine and read the covers on the trash mags at the checkout.
The only ones I feel bad for are the people that didn't mean to be famous - all the others asked for it.
My question is: why should a couple bring a child into this world when they can't even spend enough time together to do it? How are they going to be decent parents? I think it's sad for the kids.
Holy canoli, I don't read the entertainment mags unless I'm at a salon so I hadn't heard this latest tidpit. As an adoptive mom who has battled infertility, I'm not really offended by their use of invitro from a resource perspective. Trust me, there are plenty of doctors hovering about ready to take your money. I don't even care if she adopts dozens of kids. There are always more out there who need a good home. But like Juli, I wonder how they have time to parent these children. The pace at which she's growing her family makes her seem like more like a "collector" than a mother. But I'm not in their home so like so many parents of large families, perhaps they are pulling it off.
I do wonder how much time they really spend together. You often see them with just one child. How much of the children's time is spent with caregivers?
Juli's comment about celebrities makes me think of the old saying, "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it."
