Adoption is Not For Reality Star Kim Kardashian

Reality star Kim Kardashian and her family will return for another season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, but the 27-year-old has more important issues on her mind — children.  Kim and boyfriend, NFL star Reggie Bush, 23, have been discussing their future together and the reality star admitted "having six kids is amazing; it’s exactly what I want," adding, "It’s what I grew up with, so I can’t imagine anything less."  Even though Kim wants six kids, do not expect her to adopt.

I don’t want to adopt — that’s my personal choice. If I am blessed to have kids of my own, then I want to do that.

I would adopt! but that’s kim’s choice not to!

- Shirelle on July 27th, 2008

atleast she’s honest…

- Sarah on July 27th, 2008

oooh boy, this is going to cause some controversy I think!
Kim strikes me as someone who is too self-absorbed to be a good mom to ONE child, let alone six of them.
It is easy to talk about wanting a big family when you don’t REALLY know what its like to be a parent.
Maybe she will make a great mom someday, but in my opinion, she needs to grow up for that to happen. I wish her luck.

- *Lulu* on July 27th, 2008

What an incredibly bizarre thing to say.

- kelly on July 27th, 2008

How much attention does she want? why does she feel the need to announce that to the world?

- sarah on July 27th, 2008

I don’t see her being Angelina Jolie’s friend after reading this…I AM kidding of course but kudos to those who do adopt!

- Robin on July 27th, 2008

Hmmm,
My daughter was adopted and she is MY OWN! Kim should just be happy if her kids don’t inherit her morals.

- Shaun on July 27th, 2008

i would adopt!!!! but as she said is her choice no to

- Alina on July 27th, 2008

I can understand what she’s saying. There are so many women out there who are infertile, so I think she’s saying that if you’re blessed with the ability to conceieve children naturally then you should take advantage of that. That’s also my opinion but I’m definitely not opposed to adopting. Also, I really doubt she will have six kids. I wonder how long it will take her to have even one. So many celebrities say they definitely want kids and then they never actually do it.

- Elena on July 27th, 2008

Adoption is not for everyone, just as maternity itself is not for everyone and there’s no need to judge people for wanting to do/not to do things. However, my adoptive child is my own child,adoptive parents are blessed with children of their own too.

Also,no intention to be rude,but what is this lady famous for? I read that she has a reality show but is she a singer or model or something? sincere curiosity and little time to google her

- eva on July 27th, 2008

The comment struck me as so random. I wonder if someone asked her that question or she just volunteered such information. To each to their own, do what works for YOU!

- Meela on July 27th, 2008

I think she is being honest and thats her personal choice…I three biological children of my own and not that I would’nt adopt just because, I just chose to have my children that way..I think everyone has their own opnions and reasons on how the want to have children..whether its their first choice or not. Everyone has their own reasons for things and they should not be faulted.

- Lynn on July 27th, 2008

she’s right… it is her choice, but i wonder why she felt like saying that? maybe she thinks she has designer genes?

i would like to hear her elaborate on why she doesn’t want to. that would be more interesting.

- fuzibuni on July 27th, 2008

Does this really pertain to celebrity babies?

- Mom of boys on July 27th, 2008

I’m assuming she meant to say that she intends for all her children to be biological and that she’s not going to follow in the Jolie-Pitt tradition of adopting and having biological kids. That’s her choice, of course, and I don’t see anything wrong with that, but I think her phrasing could use a little work. As has been stated, adopted kids ARE the true children of whoever adopts them.

- Anon. on July 27th, 2008

i also agree, atleast she is honest….i guess if i were up for adoption, i dont think i wouldnt want her as a parent. so i guess it safe to say this is a win-win situation. but i hope one day she can see the beauty of adoption.

- Stephanie on July 27th, 2008

I think everyone has their own reason and opnion for what they choose to do. There are no rights or wrongs…It’s your right as a person to CHOOSE!!! Kim has her own right to choose how she would want to have children and people should’nt judge someones decsion!!!! I wish her and anyone best of luck…because in my opnion it does’nt matter how you had the child it’s how much love you have FOR your child.

- Lynn on July 27th, 2008

people are allowed to express the wish to parent biological children. there is no inherent crime in this. adoption is not for everyone. not everyone has the resources or inclination to do so. besides, wouldn’t you rather someone say they don’t wish to adopt childen, instead of them adopting b/c it’s socially acceptable & then not treating them in a loving manner?

- nursemom on July 27th, 2008

eva:
what is this lady famous for?

if you read her bio, she is the daughter of one of Robert Kardashian, best known as one of the lawyers for, and friend of, O.J. Simpson. (wiki)

- Stephanie on July 27th, 2008

She is really 27? Well, maybe she should try growing up and stop acting like a 19 year old. I don’t think she’ll have babies anytime soon since she would have to stop going to clubs every night. She is far too immature for kids. I think I was more mature than her (and she’s 27) back when I was 16 and had 2 jobs.

By the way, she got famous from a sex tape and being Paris Hilton’s friend. That’s about it. No actual talent involved.

- Beverley on July 27th, 2008

eva i think she’s famous for being rich maybe? i actually have no idea lol.

while i don’t agree with her (we plan to adopt), eva said it well with adoption is not for everyone and neither is maternity. anyone who has adopted knows what a long and sometimes heartwrenching process it can be; perhaps kim doesn’t think she could handle it?

- MB on July 27th, 2008

Don’t rush to judgement. You don’t know how the question was framed.

Adoption is not for everybody and I like her honesty.

Lulu – Kim is part of a huge family and second oldest. I’m pretty sure she knows what she’s talking about.

Shaun – Kim has made mistakes, but she’s young. We all have made bad moral choices, but if you watch the show you see she has a very gentle personality and seems to be too trusting if anything. We all have selfish periods which is fine as long as it’s before the kids come.

- J-Lin on July 27th, 2008

Well, although I want to adopt all of my children, I can understand not wanting to adopt. Some people can’t handle the guilt (a mother had to lose her baby for you to have your baby) or the special issues that go along with adopting children.

I seriously doubt Kim is thinking of the other mom, though. She probably just wants a bunch of mini-Kims and mini-Reggies.

- Chana on July 27th, 2008

She is famous because of her dad, Robert Kardashian, one of the lawyers that defended OJ Simpson in his murder trial. She is also considered a “socialite”, and hung out a lot with Paris Hilton.

- Christian on July 27th, 2008

People weren’t so critical when Renee Zellweger said she didn’t want kids. People have a right to their own choices and beliefs. She feels that way now but who knows after she has children of her own her stance may change.

I personally would LOVE to adopt (and I plan to after my marriage)…almost as much as having children naturally.

- T on July 27th, 2008

I don’t have any respect for these celebutant types…

However, I have less respect for some of the people on here who think she should sensor the way she feels or even phrases things. The nerve of some of you…Not wanting to adopt a child is not immoral. It isn’t like she gave some offensive reason for not wanting to do so. This shouldn’t offend anyone. Sure, those of you with adopted children don’t think of them as any less your ‘own’. But as someone who has not adopted a child, she would probably not be using phrases like ‘biological children’. And had she, you people would still be all over her.

It’s a lovely thing to adopt a child, but it doesn’t make you better. If people don’t think they could love a child that isn’t their ‘own’, isn’t it better that they don’t adopt? And it doesn’t make you a bad person for wanting to do it the old fashioned way, as it’s the most normal thing in the world.

- D on July 27th, 2008

Fair enough. Adoption is not for everyone. I personally plan to have biological children. I have nothing against adoption, but its a personal choice.

- Bb on July 27th, 2008

“Shaun – Kim has made mistakes, but she’s young.”

I find the “she’s young” defense so odd for people like Kim, Paris, Britney, etc. who have had public screw-ups in their *20s*, by their ages, most women in the U.S. manage to get along just fine without some of the things that have made these women infamous.

- emmalee on July 27th, 2008

Children are children no matter how they arrive in your family! To people who want to pit themselves on the ‘adoptive’ parents against the ‘biological’ parents that’s what I say. I am so tired of reading the comments where people are encouraging people to adopt because it’s ‘morally’ acceptable and oh ‘what a beautiful’ experience it is to adopt…these same ‘people’ chastise mom’s who celebrate natural childbirth or are more comfortable with their own biological children…having a child in your life whether it’s your biological, adoptive, niece, nephew, friends whatever…it’s how open and receptive you are to giving and receiving love

If she chooses not to adopt she shouldn’t be held morally accountable for that…nor should she be judged…thank goodness we have choices!

If she were embracing adoption excluding having biological children there wouldn’t even be a hint of discussion…just many praises….

I stopped commenting here months ago but couldn’t resist..I’m DONE here.

- miki on July 27th, 2008

While she annoys me to no end, she has EVERY right to decide how she becomes a parent. It doesn’t make her immature and it doesn’t make her any less right than one who does. In my mind, if you’re absolutely sure your kids are yours, adoptive or otherwise, someone else’s preference is no threat or insult. I don’t think her statement had any intended element of disrespect.

- Grayson's Girl on July 27th, 2008

At least she admits it and isnt following the “hollywood trend” to adopt just because “…” did it. Or at least shes not like “I’ll adopt if I cant have my own” like most who adopt (Yes I am well aware not all are like that)

- Kelly on July 27th, 2008

Everyone has a reason for things they choose to…or not to do. Some women don’t want children, some only want their own and some adopt, just as much as some choose to marry or not to marry. It’s a personal choice. Far be it for me to judge her for that.

- Harley on July 27th, 2008

some of you are taking her comments way too personally. i’m sure she was asked by a reporter what she thought of adoption, since a lot of celebs are choosing to adopt. at no point does she put down adoption, she said that her choice is not to. the fact that she says she “hopes she is blessed with children” makes her sound humble, not selfish. she at least realizes that there is a possibility she may not be able to have biological children. also, there is no need to attack or make fun of kim and her past – that is just tacky and rude.

- kate on July 27th, 2008

Kim is famous because she had a sex tape with a rapper (Ray-J). She also used to be one of Paris’ groupie-types.

- Sara on July 27th, 2008

Her statement of not adopting is no more random than those of some celebs who keep lining up to tell us they want to have kids by adopting. Good for her for making the choice and sticking to it.

There is a reason children are everywhere to be adopted by others, no one seems to want to touch on the issues that may be causing them and dealing with that. It seems we are all too busy wanting to be seen as matyrs or saviours especially celebs as if it is their responsibilities to adopt. I mean, not all of these children are orphans and those who live in impoverished areas have governments who are too busy syphoning the country’s money into their pockets.

I always try and remember what one of Joan Crawford’s kids, a child adopted by one of the biggest celebs around. Just read an interview by her a month or so ago and she is still reeling from her suffering at the hands of Joan Crawford.

- sleekraven on July 27th, 2008

I didnt know she was 27 I thought she was more like 20/21. Of course that might be b/c of how young she acts. If she is 27 then she needs to grow up a whole lot! of course I had a child by the time I was 20 so I guess I am bias thinking a 27 yr old shouldnt be acting like a teenager. Of course I know she lives in hollywood and it seems like a lot of the people in their 20′s act young. is she 27 and still living with her mom and step dad? as far as adoption or having kids its a personal decision and neither one is wrong.

steph

- steph on July 27th, 2008

Kim is simply famous because of the family she comes from just like Paris Hilton. They’ve done NOTHING to warrent the attention they get but only for the things they do!!!

That being said, she’s got the right to not want to adopt. Who really cares? I think she simply means that if she’s blessed to have her own children that’s what she’d prefer and perhaps if she can’t she’d rather just be motherless.

If I was not able to have my own child I’d opt to adopt but of course I’d rather have my own if possible like most would.

Kim’s young too. And just like gal pal Paris and Britney. At this moment they probably “love” the idea of lots of children but we all know it’s not always as great as it may seem!!

- JM on July 27th, 2008

Her own personal choice.

She’ll get some flack for the comment because people are so iffy on the subject. If she choose her words differently I doubt people would be crazy on this story.

- ERICKA on July 27th, 2008

I see all these people saying stop judging her if she doesn’t want to adopt, but it seems like no one really is? i don’t know. maybe I’m missing something. I think most people seem to be expressing the opposite? and are possibly grateful that she in particular isn’t jumping into motherhood? I have to agree with the above poster, it’s sort of a win-win. Call me callous, but the socialite, don’t do anything worthwhile with their lives but shop, party and make sex tapes, crowd get on my nerves.

But, taking a step back from my opinions on these girls, I think….Good for her that she knows what she wants. Adoption has its own challenges, and if she knows herself, and doesn’t want to deal with those, then that’s fine. I think it’s great when people adopt, but there’s nothing wrong with saying it’s not for you either. I’m interested in adoption, have been since I was a teen, and I follow a ton of adoption blogs. The experiences, successes, difficulties and challenges really run the gamut. If you’re not up for it, and know that…if it doesn’t appeal to you, then you certainly shouldn’t do it just because other (real) celebrities are.

- carie on July 27th, 2008

Adoption is not for everyone, and there is nothing wrong with her feeling the way she does. If I had been able to have biological children, I doubt that I would have adopted my son….and I am so crazy about him, that I now consider it a blessing that I was unable to have children. I feel like my son was meant to be mine and to come into my life exactly as he did. While personally I am all for adoption, I don’t think it makes her a lesser person for not wanting to.

- CTBmom on July 27th, 2008

Just because she voices her stance on adoption doesn’t give anyone the right to critcize her. Adoption is a lengthy process that some people may not wish to go through, also people shouldn’t feel like, “well I want children I HAVE TO adopt”. If she wants to have children of her own and is capable of doing so then more power to her, there’s nothing wrong with not wanting to adopt.

- C on July 27th, 2008

I have been blessed with 3 beautiful children 2 adopted and 1 biological. From a young age I had been told I would never be able to concieve child of my own. I accepted that and when I got married to my husband we started the long adoption process. 5 years later we adopted our son. But come to find out not even 4 months later I was pregnant and our second son was born. The doctor told us that there was a high probability we would be able to concieve again if we wanted to. But I decided against it and went for adoption again even though it was a long hard road we had our third son less than 6 years later.

Not everyone is ment to adopt or wants to. It doesn’t make them a bad person to want to give birth to their children. And not everyone wants to give birth, for me I wouldn’t want to do it all over again. I respect Kim for having the courage to tell everyone what she wants even though she probably knew this comment would be taken the wrong way.

As for some people saying Kim needs to grow up let her live her life. She’s 27 years old yes and if she still wants to party that is her choice it is her life to live and not ours to judge. Aleast she isn’t as irresponsible as some celebrities who start a family when they aren’t ready and still go out and party almost every night leaving their children in the care of some nanny. She will settle down when she is ready to and hopefully then she will be ready to dedicate herself 100% to any children that she is blessed to have.

- Gillian on July 27th, 2008

I think it’s really sad how many people are critising Kim for her statement. I thought she phrased it rather delicately. And let’s face it: no matter how somebody phrases it, referencing adoption in any light is going to piss off a lot of people, because it’s a touchy subject.

- lis on July 27th, 2008

At least she is being honest. I sometimes think some celebrities just say what they think sounds best, like oh yea I wanna adopt because they think it’s the in thing to say and than in reality most of them don’t. She is probably saying it too, because she was asked about it and so many celebrities just say it like nothing. I don’t think she will have 6 kids, I notice a lot of celebrities say oh I want 5-6, like a figure of speech but in reality most of them have 2 or 3 the most. As for what kind of mother she will, I don’t know her personally nor do any of us so we can’t judge, but a lot of celebrities minus britney who seemed kinda wild and crazy, have seemed to change with motherhood, nicole richie is a great example of maturing with motherhood.

- brooke on July 27th, 2008

she should be able to say what she wants if she doesnt want to adopt thats ok its her choice, not like everyone wants to adopt, whatever is right for her

- nevena on July 27th, 2008

I’m not a Kim Kardashian fan, but I really don’t think she meant anything offensive by this. It seems to me that she was saying that instead of jumping on the “celebrity adoption trend” that she would prefer to give birth if she is able to. What’s wrong with that?

- Tiffany on July 27th, 2008

“I three biological children of my own and not that I would’nt adopt just because, I just chose to have my children that way..”

Actually instead of “choose” i would rather use “was so lucky” Cuase people don’t choose whether they can have biological children or not (in other words, people don’t choose infertility and inability to have bio children)

And if this person doens’t want to adopt, that’s fine. I don’t see though why she is featured on CBB then if she doesn’t even have a baby

- Nikka on July 27th, 2008

I think some of you are way too sensitive. I’m also finding that adoptive parents (on this blog) seem to want more praise than other mothers.

Kim wanting her own biological child versus raising someone else’s biological child as her own shouldn’t make her a “bad guy”. Most women who plan to have children, plan to have their own biological babies. It’s usually after they’ve resolved that they are unable to have their own biological children that they opt to adopt.

I think it’s only normal that she’d be considering having babies versus adopting at this time. She’s young, wealthy, and hopefully healthy and able to carry her own babies (biological) to term.

- m-dot on July 27th, 2008

She didnt say she thinks that adoption is wrong or that no one should adopt, she just said that SHE doesn’t want too. I dont think people should be getting so upset or angry with her, she is merely stating her own wishes.

- Bek on July 27th, 2008

I agree it is her choice. I like to look at it from both sides really. I think its great to have your own biological children but then again there are so many children in this world that are in such need of a loving family, that feel so alone, and many whom have been abused. So I find it a little offensive that someone would want to bring in six more children into this world and turn they’re noses up at adoption simply because the child wont look like them, or they aren’t “theirs”. The adopted child wont think any different.

- Audrey on July 27th, 2008

Because I would love to be a mother, if it turns out that I’m unable to have children myself, I would probably look into adoption.

However, I know my dad has said that he would never have adopted, because his family had such a bad experience with an adopted sibling.

It’s not for everyone, and I can totally respect that.

- Laura on July 27th, 2008

Good for her. She shouldn’t have to say whats “politically correct” just because some people are far too sensitive.

Why do people with adopted children seem to have to prove that they love them? YOU know you love your kid so why does it matter what Kim Kardashian says about it?

- Natasha on July 27th, 2008

people on this site need to understand that sometimes quotes that are posted are just snippets of a conversation. she’s not going around being like i don’t want adopt i don’t want to adopt…

why must every statement someone makes considered an opportunity to be judgmental…

the poster who says if i was a kid i wouldn’t want her as a mom so its win win, really? you think kids waiting to be adopted are being picky and choosy about who their parents might be? or do they just want to be loved

- suzy on July 27th, 2008

Hey, whatever works for Kim. Not everyone wants to adopt, and she said ” If I am blessed to have kids of my own, then I want to do that.” So if she finds out she cannot have a child biologically, well, then it is her choice not to adopt, and far be it from people like us to catcall at her for her words.

- DLR on July 27th, 2008

I don’t like this woman at all. To me, she represents a lot of what is wrong with young women today but that’s for another discussion! I have no problem with what she said here, however. She’s right; it is personal choice and although she may have expressed her opinion a little clumsily, it shouldn’t offend anyone.

I do take offense to what sleekraven wrote however. I don’t see any celebrities or mere mortals acting like martyrs for adopting a child. They all just seem very grateful at being allowed to give a child a family and a home. There’s nothing wrong with that.

Also, are we to judge all adoptive parents against Joan Crawford? So one child claims to have had a bad experience with her. From what I’ve read from her other children, what her daughter wrote was largely fabricated and/or sensationalised.

Although not for everyone, adoption is a wonderful thing. It’s as special as giving birth.

- Amanda on July 27th, 2008

I think these questions to celebrities are so ridiculous. If you dont answer that you would adopt, then you get trashed. There are so many celebrities who SAY they would adopt but of course, never do and likely never had the intention. At least she is being honest.

- dickie on July 27th, 2008

Carie, I think I must have missed something too! Everyone seems to be defending her against the people “getting so upset or angry with her” or being “way too sensitive”. All I see is about 50 comments agreeing that it’s her choice, and no one criticizing her in the least.

- Cora on July 27th, 2008

Someone actually finds it offensive that a woman would want to bring more children into the world when there are already children here that need to be adopted? It’s part of human “instinct” to procreate. You know, hormones and all. Really, it’s all natural.

- Ash on July 27th, 2008

Cora…I know!! I’m trying to figure out what people are talking about saying stop criticizing her. As far as I can see, almost everyone has said, “good for her being honest” and “it’s her choice.” LOL! The only criticisms I see are not for her adoption statement, but her actual lifestyle in general. oh, well….

- carie on July 27th, 2008

Surprise surprise! People are offended by HER CHOICE! There is nothing wrong with her comments. Adoption is not for everyone. Quite frankly, I wouldn’t want to adopt either. I think it is an admirable thing for people to do, but not for everyone.

- Melissa on July 27th, 2008

I dislike Kim Kardashian mainly because of how she achieved her fame (with a sex tape and being in playboy) and her snobby attitude-but I do think that she just gave a lack of information when stating this comment. I would personally only want to have biological children, but if i wasn’t intended or able to do that physically than I would totally consider adoption. I am thinking she just means that if she is a healthy, fertile woman she would prefer to just bear her own children and not adopt. There’s nothing wrong with that. At least she’s being honest. I still don’t like her. lol.

- Rye on July 28th, 2008

This tramp should not have any kids. She will make a lousy mother. She’s already a negative in society and sets a very poor example.

- Maggie on July 28th, 2008

i think people are critical because kim’s not viewed as a respectable celeb.

- ang on July 28th, 2008

“It’s a lovely thing to adopt a child, but it doesn’t make you better”

Totally agree….

And everybody is free to make their own choices, Kim is saying that if she is not able to concieve, then she will not have kids, because she doesn’t feel to adopt one….so what’s the problem??? is her life, her choice….

- sil on July 28th, 2008

Melissa, I’ve realized being offended by what celebrities say has become an art in the comments section of this website. it never fails…..

- carie on July 28th, 2008

I see nothing offensive about her comment. So it’s not her thing, big deal? Adoption is not for everyone and really, thank something for that! It’s something you should really consider hard and for a long time. I’d like to adopt in the future but I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to afford it. It’s really very expensive here in Sweden, not to mention hard. We don’t do domestic adoptions here so we have to look abroad.

- Hea on July 28th, 2008

I admire her for being honest… atleast she isnt collecting a child in every colour like angelina jolie.

If its not her thing, thats her choice.

- Nicole on July 28th, 2008

I don’t see a thing wrong with what she said. Some are saying she should have worded her statement differently. What for? Her comment is clear & to the point.

emmalee – I disagree woman & MEN in their 20′s have made similar mistakes, just theirs aren’t public.

- SeanJay on July 28th, 2008

I myself am adopted. Had a wonderful upbringing and am close to my parents. But I would probably never adopt.

- Bel on July 28th, 2008

I actually really like Kim Kardashian, and didn’t like her when I thought she was nothing more than a “sex tape” and “playboy” skank.

If you’ve ever watched her show or been to her shop in LA you would see that she is the most down to earth, and kind person.

She had to do two shoots with Playboy because in the first one she didn’t want to take her clothes off. Heff told her she had to or else she couldn’t be in the magazine. I think she is very misunderstood.

Have you never in your life had sex with your husband or serious boyfriend and felt 100% comfortable or even taken pictures or made a tape? Kim trusted Ray J and they were in a commited relationship. I don’t see how that makes her such a bad person.

Not adopting is her choice. If I couldn’t concive my own children I would adopt but thats because I want to be a mother more than anything.

- Jaime on July 28th, 2008

ash, all I was pointing out is that I was seeing from an parentless child’s view, and my view. I already had pointed out that it is Kim’s choice what she does.

- Audrey on July 28th, 2008

I am Jenny 22 years old from Sweden and adopted from Korea.

I just want to say that
Kim is being honest about wanting biological children, but I don’t see any reason why she should talk about this in the first place when she don’t have any childrn at all yet.

And I don’t like they way she expressed herself; “kids of her own”. Adoptive parents may feel hurt by this because of course they feel their adopted children are THEIR OWN just as much as a biological child.

KIM also said “If you are blessed” like a biological child always will be the best option. It may be the first option for many, but people who can’t have a biological child or ppl who just want to adopt are just as much blessed to have an adopted child.

Someone wrote in a previous post that adopive parents seem to want more praise than others. That’s a bad thing to say. Why would they want more credit for adopting a child?
It’s not about saving a child and being a hero, it’s about adopting a child AS THEIR OWN, like a biological child. It seems hard for some ppl to understand that there is no difference in the relationship when it comes to love and raising etc. The only difference is biological.

- Jenny on July 28th, 2008

“It’s a lovely thing to adopt a child, but it doesn’t make you better”

Have any adoptive parent believed that they are better than anyone else?! For them it’s a not about being a hero and saving a child. That’s not the intention. It’s strange if you think that. I guess they simply want a child of their own, just like a biological child.

Some ppl are just not able to have a biological one or they just want to adopt, but I doubt any who adopt think they are better than anyone else.

Wow never thought I’d be defending KK (who I’ve always found mildly distasteful), but I sort of agree with her on the adoption thing. Frankly I can only see myself turning to adoption if I can’t have children biologically. However If I am able to give birth I would never consider adoption.

Ya know what? I’m REALLY disappointed by the criticism of CBB readers. You all talk about how everyone should be “honest” and not be someone they aren’t–and that’s exactly what Kim’s doing. If adoption isn’t right for her, why fault her for admitting that?? That’s her personal choice and she should not be looked down upon because she chooses to have biological children versus adopting. Adoption is a long, hard process–and while I commend those who make that choice, I really don’t think someone should be criticized because they DON’T make that choice. First you all (*NOTE* I know there are people on here who haven’t criticized her and this isn’t meant towards you!) want someone to be honest and then when they are, you jump on them because of their opinions. Just because someone or their beliefs/opinions are DIFFERENT than yours, that does not mean they are WRONG. I think everyone needs to chill out and let Kim have her own opinions. People are WAY too critical of other people–how would you feel if someone got the chance to constantly judge you without knowing you??

I agree with Melanie! Things can be worded improperly, but you people get the general idea. While I believe adoption is great, I want to try to have children naturally first, so I agree with Kim’s general idea. I have adopted siblings, and I love them more than anything. So am I bad person because I am not choosing adoption? NO, and neither is Kim. I’m not a fan of hers, but really ladies, let’s be decent human beings here.

Elena… she is basically famous for having a “stolen” sex tape. That’s basically it. Her father was one of OJ Simpson’s attornies, and her step dad is Olympian Bruce Jenner.

I find what she said offensive, I do realize though it takes a special person to adopt. I would be absolutly shocked if she said she wanted to adopt. I think she should have said nothing at all

I don’t like Kim, but I definitely agree with her. I would NEVER adopt. If I never have kids of my own, then so be it. An adopted child would never be accepted by my family, nor by my husband’s family.

i think its great if she wants to have six children, after all she has 5 brothers and sisters, something has to know about it right?
