In light of recent events in the media, I feel obligated to say: "wtf?"
If you don't already know the recent story about Madonna and her adoption issues in Malawi, here's a bit of a recap:
Madonna has been in the works of an adoption of a young girl in Malawi. The same country her son, David was adopted from. Supposedly, she has been advised that David needs another family member of his same ethnicity. The adoption was denied, and she is currently in the process of appeals. It was denied because of laws that require an adoptive parent to reside in malawi for atleast 18 months, to stop adopted children from getting in the hands of people looking to cash in, by selling the children to sex trades.
In Davids case, she was granted an exemption to the rule. Madonna is in a battle to get that baby!
Here's what I think: This woman has the power to drastically change these peoples lives. Not just one child!
Everyone is commending these people for adopting children from impoverished places and it's not deserved. These celebrities have so much money, they can put food on the tables of millions and still afford to live their lavish lifestyles. Maybe Madonna should stop taking babies away from their families, which in this case the children's parents are still alive, and focus on improving the lives of many. Not spoiling rotten one or two.
And further more, just because you have the money to provide for the children, does not mean you are a good parent. It just allows you to hire nannies to parent them for you! I mean, this woman is constantly reinventing her image and who knows if she is going to like the novelty of her adoptive children in a few years.
Really though, who WOULDN'T give THIS WOMAN a child?
