another annoying celeb getting in on the act!

An article appeared in the SUn last week about Madonna and Guy planning on adopting a child from overseas! ...apparently they were not happy with the UK agency they had a meeting with !! WHAT UK Agency - they have to go through their local authority - imagine being the Social Worker in Wiltshire or wherever they live poking around their house and getting them to answer lots of questions about their relationship, their upbringing etc etc!! Seems to me they would prefer a US agency as it is a whole lot quicker....GGGRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHH....seriusly gone down in my estimation

It looks like the queen of pop Madonna is all set to follow in fellow celebrity Angelina Jolie's footsteps by adopting a child.
The 'Hung Up' singer is said to be keen on having more children with hubby Guy Ritchie, but having another biological child may not be possible given her struggles with her previous pregnancy.
The couple has also supposedly consulted adoption agencies in both the UK and America, and have also turned to pal Brad Pitt for advice, along with hiring his adoption lawyer.
A source revealed that the couple were serious about adopting a baby, and will begin the search for their next tiny tot after Madonna's Confessions world tour winds down in October.
"Madonna and Guy are serious about adopting a baby. They had a meeting with a British adoption agency but were not satisfied that it was the right one. So they found another agency in America and had a meeting with them about becoming parents to an orphaned baby," The Sun quoted the source, as saying.
Madonna and Guy's kids, especially daughter Lola, are also said to be looking forward to the new arrival.
"They both love children and are desperate to expand their family. Sadly Madonna has not managed to get pregnant again. They have discussed the plans with the children and Lola, as they call Lourdes, is very excited about the prospect of getting a new brother or sister," the source added. (ANI)

Update

It is always about this time of the month that news of referrals start to come through. Rumours on the Spanish sites are that those people whose papers were logged in before July 13th last year will receive their referrals this month. As we are LID ( logged in date ) was August 31st - we have a bit longer to wait.

So what have we been doing whilst waiting...we have had a number of visitors - My mUm came to stay week before last and we went to Hampton Court Flower SHow which was lovely - will add some pictures. My poor garden is looking quite sad now - I bought some lovely new plants and desperately nurturing them so they don't die in the drought, last night even the hardy shrubs like the Lilac and the Forsythia was wilting and I had to pour buckets of water on them to get them to revive. Also been getting ready for my catering job at Cowes so Rob has been eating some lovely food recently !

We decided to get ahead and went and had our jabs for China yesterday morning - my arm is really sore now. I started looking at baby things on ebay and bought a great buggy last night - my first ever purchase on ebay - better stop now before it becomes a habit!!!

July 4th .................

Hot Hot Hot....32 degrees in London .. and although England are already home after the World Cup we still have a team to watch and support..of course RobERTO is coming home to see Italy play Germay ....he was quietly confident this evening even though I sorely doubted their performance and Germany must surely score....Rob got home ..tucked into a supper of squid with avocado and tomato salsa - thank you Nigel Slater....... and settled in to cheer on his second team ( for those of you who are still reading this and do not know Rob's mother was Italian so he now has a second team and as such so do I ..although what I do tomorrow when France take on Portugal could become difficult!) so he is a happy bunny tonight!
