In a recent article, the National Council for Adoption noticed the different responses of American households when it comes to celebrity adoption. They responded that celebrity adoptions are such a big deal whereas regular folks don’t make the news. For them, this is a reflection of our society.
As legal professionals sort through the complicated laws involved in domestic and international adoption, celebrities are mostly kept mum about this excruciatingly long endeavor that doesn’t guarantee any success certainties. Perhaps this is why celebrity adoptions are desperately kept hushed until they are later spotted with their new child.
The hope for many celebrity parents, like most parents, is that the right baby would find them. As long as parents remain patient during the waiting game portion of the process, and if they can give what the law believes to be the best interest of the child, things will all work out.
The fact is that a wannabe celebrity mom goes through the same trials and legal hoops as regular folks. For all their popularity, the same rules and adoption issues still apply with only one exception – money. Having deeper pockets, and maybe the connections, allow celebrities to pay for the adoption right away and kick start the legalities involved in such an undertaking.
Unfortunately, there is this pertinent public opinion that celebrities get an edge because they are able to bend certain rules. Experts believe this to be unfounded. The myth was born out of our own desire to succeed, albeit inconspicuously, through celebrities who epitomize the meaning of the “great American experience.”
Many celebrities argue that they didn’t bypass any roadblocks that lengthen the adoption process. In fact, the government is more suspicious of them with issues of privacy always a top concern. Their inability to attend required seminars and training is often scrutinized as well. In that light, regular folks might have the slight advantage.

Through proper legal channels and efforts of a trustworthy legal professional, it will eventually. Most celebrity adoptions are anonymous affairs where the role of legal professionals is of such great importance in the success of the adoption.
