Monster Karma the Angelina Jolie Way
Like it or not, Angelina Jolie has some MONSTER karma. In a few short years, she has transformed the universe of adoption in a gargantuan way. She is a force and the face of adoption has been changed forever.
Before Angelina’s humanitarian work on behalf of Goodwill and her eventual adoption of Maddox from Cambodia in 2002, adoption was more of a factor of color matching ~ a Sherwin-Williams of matchy, matchy hues and tones. Adoption agencies bought into societies long held assumption that families should be monochromatic. This misplaced mindset has been transformed, in my opinion, in large part, by an unlikely hero and her growing family.
Today, a virtual Pantone color wheel of opportunities await prospective adoptive parents. This week, Sandra Bullock announced she has adopted a baby boy from New Orleans and the precious Louis Bardo Bullock (namesake Louis Armstrong) looks nothing like her. Gasp! Sure, celebrities and regular folks have gone before her but this weeks announcement wasn’t met with gasps but with oohs and ahhs. Nicely done Angelina. The gauntlet has been thrown. What have you done to rock the world?
