Will Trina Adopt a Haitian Orphan?
By Miles Bennett ♦ Published 01/25/2010

In wake of the Haiti earthquake, celebrities across the world have come together to bring awareness to the victims still suffering.

While the "Hope For Haiti" telethon raised more than $57 million on Friday (January 22) and was a huge success, one celebrity is contemplating the notion to possibly make one orphaned Haitian child a part of her family.

She is rapper Trina.

In a statement released via her personal publicist, Trina detailed her adoption consideration.

Below is the statement in its entirety:

"With the current state that Haiti is in right now; I personally feel like donating monetary and physical possessions is a enormous and vast donation ... however I would like to contribute on a higher level for more personal reasons in addition to being ready to raise/nurture a child; by being involved on a day to day bases.

The tragic and untimely list of events that have happen in Haiti even before the recent earthquake have made me realize how blessed I am as a individual and I want to share that with a child; that is a victim in this disturbing time; in addition to adding on to my immediate family circle.

I am in the financial position to adopt; therefore I am taking it into deep consideration at this time, I have always admired other individuals for adopting children not so much for their celebrity status but more so because of the 'nurturing' and invaluable change and joy it will bring to a child’s life.

Lastly the fact that I am considering adopting a child from, Haiti is even more significant to me seeing that a great deal of adopted children that come into the United States are from larger countries such as China, Russia and Africa [sic]. I also have family members that are of Haitian descent."

    I hope she gets to adopt a Haitian child. I ain't no saint but saving a life is the greatest thing she could do to give back.

    This seems like it may start a trend, which is sad because these kids need real parents. I'm not bad-mouthing her but I hope she's thinking this through. Better yet these famous people need to start looking after kids in America. I bet Miami has a lot of kids she can adopt. Don't let a tragedy make you do what you already could have did.

    Thats what I am saying. No offense to what happen in Haiti, but when katrina hit Louisiana how many people did concerts to help the victims there or adopt and that was on U.S. soil. Just seems like we help more people in other parts of the world then our own.

    hood rat adoption agency? nigga please

  • Sigh

    This is so dumb. It takes 2yrs or more to adopt a kid. The only reason ppl are getting their kids right now is because they have been on the list for a long time. Let's see if she wants a kid when its 2yrs later and the fad for adopting a hatian.kid is over. Ppl these days
