Smart Women Adopt

There has been a hint of an idea of an theory running around my head. I have done some searches and can not find any evidence but ....

Are women who adopt smarter then those who don't?

This idea came to me while I was listening to an NPR report on Cathie Black, the president of Hearst Magazines and author of "Basic Black"
http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Black-Essential-Guide-Getting/dp/0307351106 . She adopted her children. I work for Karla Norsworthy, Vice President of Software Standards at IBM. She is one of the brightest VPs I have worked for and also an adoptive mom. Other smart, successful women I know who have adopted include: Sandy Carter (VP of SOA Strategy), Diane Jordan, Kim Howe, and many more.

So those examples are only antidotes but an interesting thought. It is also a great way to do some name dropping for women I respect.
