Dec 2nd 2012, 23:18

Mark and Cindy Hill of Missouri were shocked to learn that they were one of two winners of the biggest Powerball jackpot to date, $587.5 million. The couple adopted their daughter from China five years before and in recent interviews have shared that they are now considering adopting again.

If you won a large amount of money - what would you do to help the adoption community? Would you adopt a child internationally or lobby for adoptee rights?
