Entertainer says she’ll likely adopt in U.S. 

Rapper and actress Queen Latifah is ready to adopt her first child, according to the National Enquirer. The Queen has stated that her plans to start a family would “happen eventually,” but the magazine reports that she and her physical trainer are hoping to adopt a child together by Christmas. “I can understand why people go outside the U.S. ,” she says. “You can adopt someone here, and the birth parents have three years to come back and get that child. That’s terrifying. (American children) can use just as much assistance as someone from around the world. I want to do something here.” “Big ‘Tif” hasn’t confirmed the plans for an ‘08 adoption, nor has she confirmed a relationship with her female trainer.

The breed’s public relations problem seems justifiable.
It’s no wonder the pit bull has a PR problem. All it takes is two vicious attacks in less than two weeks against small children to bolster arguments that the breed is a dangerous monster with no place in a community setting. On Tuesday, James Hendrix, peered into his neighbor’s yard just in time to witness a large pit bull ripping a toddler’s scalp from his head. Got to BET.com/News for more on this story.
