A "prestige baby" is a third world brown child adopted by rich white people after they are done having biological children. The resulting prestige among their peer group cannot be trumped or countered; it is the ultimate expression of white privilege.
Have you seen the Smith's new prestige baby, Tamden? They had to make three separate trips to Guatemala to secure it. The playgroup host nearly burned down her own house in envious rage when Shanna walked in with it.
