of course no one cares what I think about Madonna and baby Davie. but anyway, I think it's just wrong. w-r-o-n-g.
1) the child has a father. yes, the father is relinquishing. because the other two siblings died of malaria. Madonna could easily safeguard that child against malaria without taking him home.
2) I don't care how big an orphanage she's setting up. she's circumventing the system everyone else has to go through - Malawi normally doesn't allow overseas adoptions - by virtue of her money. in other words, she's buying a child.
while I have every sympathy for people who want to adopt, this kind of thing just makes a mockery of what it's supposed to be about: the child.
