What is there not to love about this woman?

Angelina Adopts Again - Jul 06, 2005 - E! Online News If all goes according to plan, the Oscar winner and all-around do-gooder will by week's end finalize the adoption of an Ethiopian orphan whose parents were killed by AIDS.
Jolie broke the news to People magazine, announcing that the name of her soon-to-be daugther is Zahara Marley Jolie. The 30-year-old actress declined to reveal the baby's age, weight or length, but said that she and three-year-old son Maddox, whom she adopted from a Cambodian orphanage in 2002, are "very happy to have a new addition to our family."
Ok, my bi and lesbian friends are going to roll their eyes on this one but, seriously, I'd go totally bi for this woman.
I mean, SERIOUSLY!
She tells people like Sharon Stone to shut the fuck up and practice due diligence before talking about world politics; gives A THIRD of her income to charity and is not afraid to adopt colored kids as a single parent. What courage!
Let's give the woman a standing ovation.
This is why Live8, in a lot of ways, was so wrong. Not due to the cause but the organizers and performers involved. She is the real deal.
So, Angelina, I HEART YOU. Of course, if you ever get your hands on Benicio or Viggo, I'll have to wack you. Stay with Brad, honey. I do think you're made for each other.
Still, for being a true sheroe, I HEART YOU!

Say it loud, say it proud!
BTW :
Single parents are my biggest SHEROES and HEROES. I mean, seriously. Single parents, especially single mothers deserve a big, fucking "WE'RE SORRY" from the religious extremists who waste no time blaming ya'll for the ills of society.
So to idiots like these, I say unto them, yea, a biggeth fucketh ye.
Then there is the issue of adoption.
I actually have a neighbor who adopted a child from Ethiopia. She is white and her oldest child by birth is black (or biracial). Anyhow, she lived in Ethiopia for a while and knew that one day she wanted to adopt a child from there. She is one of my sheroes. It's such an honor to know her. It's not just what she had to go through to adopt her child. It's what they all had to deal with during the first few years after. It takes a will of steel and a brass ovaries to be an adoptive parent; needless to say a single adoptive parent.
So, I just want to make it clear to all single MILFs out there :
I HEART YOU
I BOW TO YOUR BUDDHA
YOU ARE MY SHEROES
