CHELSEA Clinton is planning to adopt a baby from Africa.
The former First Daughter, 33, decided on the surprising maternity plan after watching both parents Bill and Hillary Clinton battle potentially deadly health problems while shes struggled to get pregnant.
After years of worrying that shed lose her dad Bill to a heart attack, Chelsea flipped out when her mom Hillary was hospitalized with a blood clot near her brain, a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.
The clot was successfully treated and Hillary is out of the woods, but the incident made Chelsea realize that life can turn on a dime.
Bill who had emergency quadruple bypass surgery in September 2004 and had two stents inserted in a clogged heart artery in February 2010 has confessed that he longs for grandchildren.
Im determined to live to be a grandfather, the 66-year-old politician admitted in a candid TV interview last October. But I just think the older you get, the more you want every year to count.
Since the interview, Chelsea has been more determined than ever to give her parents a grandchild as soon as possible and adopting an African baby is her new maternity plan, said the source.
Besides that, her parents will be over the moon. In light of the familys humanitarian values, nothing could be more rewarding than for Chelsea to give a needy baby a forever home.
Chelsea has a heart of gold, and recently everything from her parents health crises, to her and Marcs inability to conceive and her familys special devotion to the black community came together in her mind.
She realized that adopting an African child would be a good idea if she couldnt get pregnant.
And as the daughter of a former president and former secretary of state, she can cut some corners when it comes to the red tape of the adoption process.
For now, Chelsea is doing everything she can to jump-start the adoption process. Its possible a child could be selected in the next few months.
Remember once when she testified her answer was "I cannot recall". Next Question is "does she really have a brain" answer to that is "guess not, she is a ComDem."
It’s always been rich democrats who were into buying slaves.
FUBO, FAD, & down with the democrat party
While 4 million American babies will be aborted this year.
Pray for America
I feel like a dummy. :)
Another thought is nutrition. Or more specifically, preservatives? Many more added to food than when I was a child.
Just poor nutrition alone doesn't jive with how easily the food stamp/teenage girls seem to pop out kids. Maybe we should tell kids to eat more junk food! LOL

Now Danny won't feel so alone anymore:
Bill was the first Black president. Now they’ve just taken the next step.
The better question would be, why not an African American baby? Pretty sure there are lots of kids (babies included) to adopt in this country...why go to Africa?
Both my cousins were adopted as my aunt was unable to conceive, and my one cousin and her husband decided to adopt before having any children of their own; it was her way I guess of paying it forward. She was so grateful to the loving parents who adopted her and her brother; that she wanted to do the same for other children.
They are rather well off BTW, with him being a partner in a big prestigious Philly law firm so my cousin was not only in the position to adopt but also financially secure enough that she could quit her highly paid job as a banking executive to be a full time stay at home mom. Two of the children they adopted are black, not from Africa but from here in PA where they live; one was adopted not as an infant but at two years old and one has a learning disability most likely because of his birth mothers drug abuse; they also adopted a mix race baby who is autistic and or mildly retarded (Im not sure which but know he has many problems). Then a few years later they gave birth to their 4th child. And my cousin and her husband and our entire family love them all equally.
While my cousin is a deeply religious born again Christian, she is also quite a bit to the liberal side politically a big Obama supporter (ugg). But while I disagree with her politics, I applaud her and her husband for what they have done to give a good and loving home to three children who might have otherwise been aborted or abandoned, neglected, abused or left as wards to the Welfare State.
I also as someone who very much wanted to have children, my husband and I tried for many years but couldnt, I take great offence to the implication that a woman who cannot conceive, cannot do so because she is too unattractive.
My daughter followed that route but not by choice. She wanted to get married earlier but the guys she dated were not of that mind. She turned to more school to fill her time. (for lack of a better way of putting it)
Not to pick on men but it seems these days, the guys are reluctant to get married. I'm guessing that they'd like to avoid the high cost of divorce and losing so much of what they work for.
I can remember when parents getting a divorce was a big thing! Scandalous even. Now it's the other way around. when I mention that I've been married for 36 years, I get raised eyebrows!
I guess that is what you have to do when your husband is a fag.
My first inclination was, "There no white America chiildren who could be placed in a home of the uber-privileged?
If not, it seems to me that this is nothing more than a publicity stunt.
Thanks, makes sense. Some Ethiopians are physically very beautiful people.
A friend of mine and her husband adopted two children and not long after, her husband decided he liked another woman better than her and the kids so he left.
Subsequently, his parents (the children’s grandparents) do NOT consider the children to be any relation to them and ignore them completely.
Didn’t Hillary also have fertility problems. I believe she did.
My feeling as both parent and grandparent of biological and adopted children, the children are better off without them. Better to be out of their lives than to be consciously or unconsciously second class.
I believe in my heart that adoption is a miracle. The bonding starts when you see the first picture. And just like with biological children, that sealed with concrete parent/child bond can come instantly or over time. But through the Grace of God, that bond comes. Of our 11 children, 2 (who happen to be of a different race) were legally adopted, and one was our niece who was in our sole care from her 10th birthday on. 5 of our 36 grandchildren are adopted. I assure you parental feelings and it no longer matters to you how your children came to your family. As for grandchildren, I can't honestly say I ever felt differently toward any of them biological or adopted - they're all the children of the people my wife and I love the most. The grandchild with whom I am closest is the adopted grandson (of my biological daughter) whose CYO basketball team I coached.
Sometimes it’s best not to pass on the genes.
Who’s your daddy?
“Uncle Buddy!”
