Raising children takes a lot of work; even for those with money. I am surprised that a former posted implied that she and Brad are "collecting" children. It's sad that when people, regardless of who they are, want to adopt children, that it's looked at that way. If she had her only biological children, would that comment have been said? Perhaps because they're a Hollywood couple, that their children won't have typical lives. That doesn't mean that they won't have good and fulfilling lives. If she didn't love Shiloh or had an issue with having children versus adopting them, she would not be pregnant again. I think people are putting too much weight in something that she didn't communicate well. There are millions of children in places like Africa that live in despair. Helping 2 of them is doing something. She shouldn't be bashed for doing something good.

I wouldn't take the "shiloh the blob" comment too seriously.

Yea, the collecting children comment is off base. If they are collecting children, what about those people that have, what is it now ... 16 kids, or is it different for people who have collections of biological children. Like Bill Maher said, if 2 of the most beautiful people in the world was to <well, you know>, I say let 'em! They obviously adore these kids, I say have at it, just keep the blob comments out of the press. I honestly think she said it not realizing how many people would jump on it. Again, she's a bit strange and out of touch. I remember the flack Adam Sandler received when he kept referring to his newborn daughter as "the kid" ...

I think she is a bit strange. Do you guys remember when she used to make out in public with her ex? And wear his blood around her neck? Yikes! She was just odd, then all the sudden she turned into this child loving peace maker. It's a bit much for me. I just don't buy it. I still think there is something wrong with her. Although it does seem from what the press shows us that her kids are ALL well loved and taken care of.

Must be hard to live such a public life. Everyone has seen her make-out with her brother too, and everyone knows she doesn't have anything to do with her father...the more I think about her the stranger I think she is actually! Oh yah, one more thing...didn't she kinda steal Brad from Jen? (who just froze her eggs)ha

Overnight, she went from goth-blood-tattoo woman to a glamorous star. Anyone else notice that the tatoos on her arms are gone now?
I didn't get the naming of the child after a beagle, Shiloh. Come back little Shiloh come back.

Good for her, I think she's a great mom and I think Brad is a great dad. They've got the money, the brains, and the motivation to raise their kids right. That's the kind of children and parents that we need.

Say what you like about them, but they both put their money, time, and their fame into good works, which is a lot more than I can say for most people.

I don't know what to think. I mean I am happy they are happy...I think they do great things for our world...But, I just get the vibe they are trying to make some kind of forced statement by having all these kids...I don't know...something is just 'off' about them.

Nebulous1, my aunt had a dog named Shiloh too, so I always think that same way when I hear her name! ha

They do bring a lot of attention to areas that need it with their fame. I'll give them that!

At least they didn't name her after a piece of fruit or a hot drink.

I feel the same way........there's just something I can't put my finger on. I'm happy for them, I'm glad they do all the stuff they do....its nice n' all - I hope they stay happy.
