In other words, it's easier to take care of someone else's problems than your own.

If a celebrity adopts an American kid, you can bet the birth parents are going to make as much hay out of it as they possibly can. I'm guessing the other reaons would include that she has an interest in a family with varied ethnicities in it or that she wants to create awareness of the problems in the countries the children she's adopting from are born in.
