Lets hope he never ends up in the public eye with some of the bile spouted on this thread eh...

Well that's great that he now has a dad in your husband. I admire and respect anyone who takes on a child that isn't biologically theirs. I'm sure it isn't easy in some cases. I hope their relationship is a good father and son one.
Unfortunately in real life things are not always cut and dried. You simply cannot compare one situation against another.
You can't compare your ex husbands adoption to the situation of Biancas adoption...because their relationship didn't work out...you can't compare the Jolie/Pitts adoptions and pending divorce situation to Biancas situation years ago.
I think you may be missing the point of the discussion.
