"An incredible achievement for a girl who is just 32 years old" patronising s. She has probably been working for 10 years if not longer, and despite BB being a pile of hsite it's still a pretty complicated job being a TV producer.

Yes, a good role model, but why was she drawn to doing something in Africa? There are kids abandoned and needing adoption right here in UK too.

There is a shortage of babies available for adoption in this country. Adopting a ten year old is a very different proposition to adopting a baby.

Wish that was the case mate, most adoption agencies here will fight tooth and nail to force prospective adopters into taking a damaged youth on as opposed one of the babies they care for.
This means a number of the babies grow up in an institution until the reach the damaged youth stage and are foisted on a couple with little experience.
