Last night, as I watched the news reports about orphans from Haiti being adopted, I couldn't help but feel sad to think that they may have lost most, if not all of their family history. I also worry that some people may be taking the children for the wrong reasons (i.e., cute/trendy). As I feel off to sleep, the orphans were in my prayers...

And then today, I come across crap like this:
My Minx is a fashion web game that has a feature where you can adopt a child as an accessory and even dress him/her up.
The game encourages adoption of children as fashion accessories. My Minx players can buy orphans such as Pax, Maddox and Zahara – named after Angelina Jolie’s children – and Mercy and David Banda – named after Madonna’s kids. While four-year-old Zahara is said to be Ethiopian and a fan of eating guinea pigs, Maddox’s favourite food is supposedly cockroaches.
Do you think Angelina, Brad or Madonna approved this?
