A Baby For All Seasons

Children being viewed as a commodity, that can be bought to fit the parents needs; it is expressedly voiced, by so-called superstar Ricky Martin. Wanting a child from each continent reads to me like words from a collector not from a parent to be.

Latin superstar Ricky Martin has indicated that he'll soon be creating a family for himself -- and he plans to make it a global effort, telling reporters recently that he'd like to adopt a child "from each continent."  According to Ricky, a "family of many colors" is something "we want to begin to create this year."  Perhaps wary of the troubles which Madonna encountered while adopting her son David, Ricky says that the process will not be rushed, and that he wants "to do it right."
