A teenager from a Thai orphanage has rejected an offer to
become Kim Kardashian » 's adopted child and says she'd rather
stay in abject poverty in Thailand than go live a life of riches and
glamor overseas.
Pink, aged 13, said even though she was very excited at the news
of becoming the multi-millionaire’s adopted daughter, she also
insisted she really just wanted to go to school and help her fellow
orphans she's lived with.
“Everyone wants to have a different or a better life, I suppose. But
when I thought about it I realised it wouldn't be good for me,
because I would have to leave so much behind. I wasn't ready for
that.” Pink said after being told the reality TV star wanted to adopt
her.
Kim bonded with the teenage girl during her family visit in the
country back in April. We earlier reported » that the reality star
admitted she would love to adopt Pink after visiting her ramshackle
Children's home in Phang Nga province, a region where above
4,000 people died in the 2004 Tsunami.
After the visit, Kim declared on camera: 'When you meet someone
that you really connect to like this, you can't help but think like
how you could change their life. And I think that looking into
adoption would be amazing.... I literally cannot stop thinking about
her. I told (husband) Kanye, I was like, honestly, this girl is so sweet
and so cute, like, I would honestly adopt her.'
Reports claim Kim dropped the idea after her momager Kris
Jenner » told her to STOP treating adoption like a shopping trip.
According to MailOnline, the Kardashians had not been in contact
with the home since the visit, he said, although the owner of the
resort in nearby Phuket that arranged the visit was in regular
contact as a supporter of the foundation.
So why is this story coming out after Kim's nude Paper cover just
got released?
