Every child needs love and care. That is why many famous people around the world, apart from their social status and financial opportunities, consider it their duty to give warmth to children with their human hearts. Usually, the babies or young children adopted by them grow up in a family environment and have the chance to feel true parental love.
Sandra Bullock
Hollywood star Sandra Bullock dreamed of adopting a child from a young age. However, after divorcing Jesse James, she decided to fulfill her wish on her own. In 2010, the actress adopted a little boy named Louis from New Orleans and experienced the joy of motherhood for the first time. Later, she welcomed a girl named Laila into her family. According to reports, Bullock had tried various medical methods to have her own child, but they were unsuccessful.
Charlize Theron
Born in South Africa and famous in Hollywood, Charlize Theron is now raising two children. In 2012, she adopted a boy named Jackson, and in 2015 she brought home a girl named August from a South African orphanage. According to the actress, there is no difference at all between raising an adopted child and a biological one — both should be loved and nurtured equally.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
Hollywood’s most talked-about couple — Jolie and Pitt — have six children, three of whom are adopted. In 2002, Jolie adopted a boy named Maddox from Cambodia, in 2005 — Zahara from Ethiopia, and in 2007 — Pax Thien from Vietnam. Their other children — Shiloh, Knox Leon, and Vivienne Marcheline — are their biological kids. Jolie and Pitt repeatedly emphasized that their family is built on love, cultural diversity, and respect for every child’s roots. However, after the divorce, relations in the family became extremely tense, and it was reported that Brad’s daughters gave up his surname.
Sharon Stone
In 2000, actress Sharon Stone and her then-husband Phil Bronstein adopted a boy named Roan. After their divorce, Stone twice more embraced motherhood by adopting Laird and Quinn.
Madonna
The pop queen Madonna is among the stars who adopted four children from Africa. In 2006, she adopted a boy named David Banda Mwale, in 2009 — a girl named Chikonde Mercy James, and in 2017 — twin sisters Stella and Esther. In addition, Madonna has two biological children: Lourdes (from Carlos Leon) and Rocco John (from director Guy Ritchie).
Experts note that adoption by famous figures changes not only the destiny of children but also society’s perception of humanity. With their example, they show the world the truth: “every child deserves parental love.”
