Gloria's completely absurd, lol!  She thinks that a legitimate adoption agency is just gonna hand her over a baby, like tomorrow, without checking her background or interviewing her or.....anything?  I couldn't believe that she thought it was nit-pickety of them to want to fingerprint her and all that!  So I guess that she fired her lawyer because she thinks thats too much red-tape to go through?  What's she gonna do now, get Michael to find her one on the blackmarket?

Yes.  She thinks ''Babies R Us'' has them on the shelves, where she can pick out the sex, & her favorite eye & hair color, too.

    Sadly, I know someone IRL, just like Gloria who DID get to adopt, not once but twice.  She passed the home study & the countless meetings w/the social worker(s).  They were far more interested in her having a clean house & a hefty bank account than whether or not she would be a good parent.  The person I'm speaking of, like Gloria, wasn't good parent material & the kids suffered for it for the rest of their lives.  I feel for the mothers/parents who gave those two babies up for adoption, believing that they were going to a better home than the bio-parents could provide.  The reality was, both kids would have been better off being raised homeless, under an overpass, than in the house w/all the trappings--which wasn't a home.

    They have turned Gloria into a pathetic bubblehead. She isn't funny any more, or cute, just plain STUPID! Her brains have melted away. With all her craziness before, she at least used to have a sharp thinker. Isn't she supposed to be in the ballpark of 55/60 even on the show? Besides that, no father for the child, no home, and a track record like a bomb for stability, I think Glo is losing her marbles. She's got guts though, wearing that slippery red jacket like a beacon out in public. That was so Gloria.

  • It's EXTREMELY difficult for anyone over 50 to adopt a baby. This story is absurd. --Mira
  • I was just going to post the same thing about her age. She'll have to buy a baby. International adoptions won't even consider someone her age, and certainly not for an infant. Even people in their early 40s are only allowed to adopt older children.--mp
  • It depends a lot on whether the adoption is private or through an agency. It isn't that much more difficult for people over 40 to adopt, although it is considerably easier for them to adopt older kids or those w/disabilites than infants. But that is true in all age brackets. eom

    Gloria is a twit.  I wouldn't allow her to adopt a puppy.  And, trust me, Gloria would never pass the review process I went through to adopt my cat, LOL.  If you ask me, Gloria wants a baby for no other reason than to trot the little darling all over Genoa City, showing everyone how much "good karma" she's producing.  If Gloria really wants to do some good with all her dough, she could afford to sponsor an entire village of third world orphans.  But I guess all Gloria's good deeds need an audience, don't they.

  • Gloria has yet to really figure out what good karma really means. She is still very self serving. This whole adoption thing is selfish. mm3
  • ITA. Gloworm is only interested in doing good deeds that bring her very public praise and attention.
