waited too long to have one of her own?

The nanny will raise the child. The adopting mom will use the child for all photo ops.
Sure hope she doesn’t think this earns her brownie points with God. It won’t. BTW, is she the Left’s idea of a “pretty woman”, cause she sure isn’t mine. She was definately behind the door when “pretty” was being handed out.
At this point, I would be more interested in the well being of the child. I would hope the child would have a better chance being raised here in the USA then in an orphanage in India. JMHO
As in an adoption?
I'd suspect the feelings are mutual.
There are and will be many speculations on why Roberts decided to adopt a Hindu child..... But obviously the better pick for her to make considering her new found beliefs in Hinduism. I tend to imagine quite possible her Guru had a say in this as well....especially since he will benefit greatly by his work with her....and the child.
Actually the feelings are not mutual....the Guru’s in India have for several years an agenda to bring their religious practices to the USA...and incorporate the Christian God into their Temples they build here....which they are currently doing. Hinduism is inclusive by accepting all faiths Gods. They already have a gazillion Gods..so a few more isn’t going to ruffle their feathers at all.
Forget how difficult it might be to get to adopt American children. The worst thing about an American adoption is our judges, after a successful adoption has taken place.
Several times, judges have removed a precious child, sometimes as old as 4, from her home, the only home she has ever known, from her only parents, the people who adopted her.
Why? Because the man who ejaculated into the birth mother has turned up, these years later, and didn’t know he had a child. Judges in this country still think that genetics trumps love. It is the most sickening thing you can do to a child, and I do not blame anyone, even the overlipped Julia Roberts, from adopting elsewhere.

They just recently opened another Temple....and have statues of Mary and catholic Saints throughout...along with all the others common to Hinduism.
It is a religion which incorporates all faiths now...there are no boundaries. It's each man for himself...literally. There is no Salvation as each man earns his way, but then you are also familiar with that...as well as reincarnation plays a primary roll. Sadly the countries who practice this have much disease and many health problems....very underdeveloped and where they are developing it is generally outsiders who are building it up...because the general populations beliefs in Hinduism do not inspire people to succeed. Additionally the attitude is why bother when you will have a second chance and a third via reincarnation. It is a foolish religion...and opposes Christianity by it's teachings.
Christ said..."No one can come to the Father but by me." All the excersizes to bring oneness with God via Hinduism will never accomplish the teachings they profess...no one can ever be in God's presense apart from being in Christ...who is alive...all others have died and remain so.
Catholic South America is a mysterious anomaly.
Freeper Blasater1960 makes an interesting argument, here:

How would you respond?
There is no Christianity without Christ as central. God oftentimes makes distinctions throughout the Bible and History. Man attempts to integrate those distinctions. It is hard for man to accept those distinctions for since the tower of Babel mankind continues to want to unit man, teachings, faiths, and pretty much everyone and thing. But God continually makes distinctions...and with reason.
Grace and Mercy, salvation and Forgiveness of sin...alone thru Christ is that distinction..there is no other way in ones own efforts to climb up another way....man will constantly fail to meet the mark.
Thank you for replying!
Don’t forget that there are MANY in India who are Christians — 40 million+ at the 2000 census (and probably increased now), with 3 states in the North-East being 95 to 100% Baptist, and the southern and western states having 10 to 40% Christians (mostly Catholics with some Anglicans, Methodists and Baptists). So, the “folks in India” also include fellow Christian
Hardly — many Hindus have a great deal of respect for the teachings of Christ and do follow them, however they incorporate it with their other pantheistic beliefs.
