Seriously, talking about an adoption and one involving a public person at that. Does he know how wrong that is?! It would be bad and a HUGE ethical breach if the people mentioned were no names but the effects of mentioning someone who already deals with paparazzi and reporters dissecting their lives causes even more serious consequences when something that's supposed to be under seal is violated.

If you reveal details of Jane Smith from Lower Iowa adoption proceedings people won't know for sure who it is (still very, very wrong) and they'll forget about it but if you go talking about the very private and legally SEALED details of a celeb or public figure everyone will know who it is, the press will go wild, and the story never goes away. Celeb X can't escape the story - can't wait for people who think they have it figured out to lose interest they way Jane Smith can.
