Pick Your Adoptive Parents

I am certain most of us are/were quite happy with the parents we got, but assuming you were a baby and could pick anyone - alive or dead, real or fictional - as your adoptive parents, who would you choose?

Would you go for money? Bill and Melinda Gates?
Fame? Bogart and Bacall?
Both? Queen Elizabeth and Phil?
Fiction? A nice Hobbit family from the Shire?
Historical? Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt?

Who would you choose?

Gomez and Morticia Addams. They are rich, cool, and very tolerant.

Amelia Pond and Rory Williams. I’d get to travel though time and space with the Doctor :smiley:

Fictional fame and money: Aral and Cordelia Vorkosigan.

Fictional: Coach and Tami Taylor from* Friday Night Lights.*

Real: Barack and Michelle Obama (although I could probably do without the Secret Service following my ass everywhere)

Real: Beyonce and Jay-Z (with whom I’d form some sort of Partridge Family-esque musical supergroup).

Fictional: Dan and Roseanne Conner (with whom I’d feel most at home).

Johnny Depp & Winona Ryder - looks, money, talent, a private island, two Christmases!

Hell yes. Mostly because they are awesome, awesome people. There’s also a number of Lord of the Rings couples who probably made very good parents. Er, and I’ve always wanted to be an elf or half-elf.

Fictional: Atticus Finch, just too feel so solidly loved.

Real: Gates, lots of cash, but they seem to have good, solid values as people.

Real: Andrew Lloyd Webber. Tons of cash and theatre connections
Fictional: Rhett Butler: Cash

The Duke and Duchess of Windsor (formerly King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson).
They understood the power and importance of love and commitment, no matter the cost.
