A lot of the celebrities that "adopt" kids from other countries like Angelina and Madonna do not legally adopt them, but instead steal them from their families in 3rd world countries.
Is the child better off?
Yes. Brad and Angelina's team of maids, servants and butlers will raise them and they will never want for anything - at least until they reach 16 and they no longer serve their purpose. It doesn't change the fact that they are accessories, paraded like a fur coat for the paparazzi.
It's not real love.
