I just don't get it

So Alexis Stewart (who is the one and only child of Martha Stewart, for Johnny, and others who didn't know) is on Oprah today, talking about speding 28Ks a month on fertility treatments because, and I quote, she wants "a child of her own". ARRGHH! Am I the only one who finds this so aggravating? Sure, she's filthy rich, she can spend her money on anything she wants, but 28K? A MONTH? At age 42?

Why is adoption still so second-class? I admit it, we were weird. We pursued both IVF AND Adoption at the same time. I know most people try one, and then have to come to terms with their infertility and move on to adoption. I can understand that. But she says herself she doens't have a plan B! Seriously? With that kind of money, she could easily adopt a perfectly healthy new-born. If trans-racial adoption isn't her thing, I can respect that. But tell me what birth-mother presented with her file wouldn't pick her? Sure, she's not married. She may or may not be gay and some people might not pick her for that. But I just don't get it.  28K a month....

I just don't get it.

(And by the way, can we now start saying she wants "a biological child"? Because I would like someone to explain to my kids how they are not my own?)
