Madonna and child



So is it a publicity stunt gone somewhat awry or a genuine attempt to do something good? I'm not sure, but Madonna and Guy Ritchie's pending adoption of little David Banda from Malawi certainly has given rise to distinct 'for' and 'against' camps. At present, I must admit I am leaning towards the 'against' group, for various reasons. Amongst them is the fact that so many children, perhaps not as cute, or as visible as David are continuously overlooked by foreign adoptors. Read this and let me know what you think. I, in the meantime, will attempt to put my stance into words.
Oh and PS, mark my words; the couple haven't heard the last from the child's biological father.
