Madonna's call for more adoptions

Madonna is in the US currently promoting her film, "Arthur and the Invisbles," but it hasn't stopped Madge from pontificating to chat show hosts the need for more Americans to adopt the world's poor.
Madonna has publicly stated she was "saving a life" by taking the Malawian boy David into her family.
Appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman Thursday Madge urged more potential adoptive parents to consider the impoverished nation of Malawi, despite the fact there are plenty of impoverished American kids who need homes and love too.
"There's over a million orphans in Malawi, and in my opinion the laws need to change because these children need to be rescued," Madonna said.
Madonna told her host she had been warned that adopting a child from Malawi would be a difficult task.
"My social worker…said, 'Good luck. You're going to be making it up as you go along,' " she recalled Thursday. "She didn't say don't do it, but she just said expect challenges, and, boy, did we get them."
Currently a coalition of 67 Malawian human rights groups have challenged a judge's decision to grant Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie interim custody of David, accusing the couple of using their celebrity status to fast-track the process.
The power couple were allowed to take the child home but was required to submit to monitoring by child welfare officials for 18 months, after which point the adoption may be finalized.
On a whirlwind Today show appearance in which Madge was late for, she told Meredith Vieira that life with three children is "amazing," and that her 10-year-old daughter helps babysit her new little brother.

Can't wait till her poor husband Guy finally dumps her for a man!
This phoney self-centered 'User' of everything around her that will keep her name in the public has got to be stopped!
First she should publicly apologize to the world for all the filthy mental pollution she has contributed through her displays of homosexual child moleting as she did to Britney.
Second she should apologize to the world for all the damage she causes for innocent teenage kids who have been led astray by this half homo drag queen who behaves more like a gay man than a woman who cares about kids!
Third she of all people should be Banned from adopting any kid.
What immoral low life she is - what kind of upbringing could she possibly give to a child? I feel sorry for those kids.
Fourth she is a media whore who even now is using the Rosie fight with Trump to her advantage. Notice she has distanced herself from Britney now that Spears is getting bad press....but years ago, she Used Britney onstage for her filthy display of lesbiansim. What a phoney low life sleazebag.
I agree, she acted like the biggest ho bag in the world. Posed in a nude book, she has no morals or ethics, but now she says she does! Guy Ritchie has no shame either, who would want to marry a woman who slept with everyone and anyone. If i were one of her children, I would be so ashamed. No matter how old you get, your reputation is remembered, and you are judged by it. And so it should be..Why is it, the skankier you are, the more attention you get, and money you make? I say bring back SHAME.....
Malawi, like several African countries do not have established Adoption Laws! Why?
The answer is simple: African dark skin babies are not in demand to adopt locally, nationally or internationally! So Angelina's comments on the Madonna Adoption are correct. Madonna is a smart woman & should've been prepared for difficulties. Who better should know than Angie after going through two foreign adoptions, one also from Africa. Yes the Adoption Agency which Angie used to get Maddox from was doing fraudulent stuff. But that Agency was the largest one in the world at the time. So there is no way that Angelina could have figured out the Agency was doing questionable things! That's why she was so careful when she Adopted Zahara from Ethiopia.OK,Madonna is a good woman!! But I doubt she would EVER been interested in adopting that Beautiful little African boy last year had Angie & Brad not made it so TRES CHIC! Mia Farrow & other celebrities adopted Asian children, how come Madge didn't go in that direction? Also Guy Ritchie is no Brad Pitt. He doesn't look comfortable holding a Black child. Madonna is cultured woman, always has been. Her daughter is also half Cuban & looks it. Rumor has it that Madonna wants to adopt another African child so David will feel more comfortable. I can't see Guys going through it again.Brangelina have better compassion for the world's kids
