Unnatural Adoptions
Although there are thousands of genuine families who adopt and raise African children in the West, the sad story of Madonna's disgusting power-adoption of a young Malawian boy is about as stomach-churning a story as one can get.
Madonna could have spent equivalent money on funding thousands of AIDS orphans through infancy and primary school for the same cost as her celebrity adoption. However, that would not have brought her headlines and publicity. The poor Malawian boy will also be exposed to the weird lifestyles of Hollywood and pop stars. Surely life in Malawi is far less cruel ? No wonder his father looks so glum.
Sometimes the leftist "entertainagensia's" actions towards Africa are shameful. Malawaians and Africans generally should stop this child-theft by weirdo showbiz types and insist instead Madonna and her ilk spend money on NGO child projects.

So now we are going to "insist" on what
other people spend their money on....
Thats GREAT!!!
Yes, it is right to ensure that superweathy celebrities donate money broadly to assist many African children, rather than shamelessly use their power and wealth, plus their publicity agents, to bypass proper adoption procedures...or did you not bother to read the link to the full story from Malawi?
What do these celebs think, African children are fashion accessories or what?

It is shamefull that so many people are condeming celebrities who find the kindness in their heart to save a child from a life a hell!!! It would be far worse for these celebrities to travel to the war and aids striken countries and not leave with a child. For all of you out there who have lived a privleged and comfortable life in the US, SHUT UP!!!!!
