Madonna Adoption Sickens Me

As everyone knows, Madonna went on a well-publicized shopping spree in Malawi, Africa this week. She came back with a little boy who has a father, who put him in an orphanage because his mother was dead.

The picture of her walking down a line of orphans looking for the one she wanted sickens me. It's right out of a Dickens novel. That's the way I once picked out a cat in a barn. The fact that the child still had a father sickens me.

It doesn't matter whether he did ask Madonna to take his son. There were other children in that orphanage with no mother or father. And if she really wanted to help the father, she would arrange to have him immigrate to the UK and at least give him a job on her estate so that he to could escape poverty and be with his son.

By the way, the next time she or Angela Jolie wants to adopt a poor parentless child in order to rescue them from a life of poverty and crime, I can help. I can take them into areas of Gary, Indiana, or Jackson, Mississippi, or New York City and help them find any number of children worse off than the little boy she bought.

They are black, brown, and white; whatever color is "in style" for celebrities the next time they feel like getting publicity. I can guarantee they are in a worse situation than the child Madonna bought on her shopping trip.

  • I used to work for a nonprofit organization. And we often found it ironic how many donors and volunteers showed up around the holidays and disappeared the rest of the year. It makes me think that such efforts as Madonna's might be (I can't know her motivations for sure) coming from a join-the-latest-doing-good thing of the stars.

  • I assumed she did it because she saw it as the latest, fashionable celebrity cause du jour, CG. Only Madonna, though, could turn something meant to be generous into publicity-grabbing headlines for a week.

    With her, the "tour" never ends.
