So Madonna wants to adobt a 1 year old boy from an orhanage in Malawi. She can offer him a better start to life, education & loving family environment. Now there is a group of do-gooders who call themselves *The Human Rights Consultative Committee* who say she can’t do this because she doesn’t live in Malawi and are going to great lengths to stop the adoption, even suggesting that it is just some publicity stunt to rival Angelina Jolie.

Why does a group of charities who say they are fighting Human Rights refusing this little boy the basic rights of an education & family life? Why can’t they just leave things be? Why are they spending thousands of pounds in legal fees to try to stop this adoption when they could be spending the money either building more orphanages or better still properly funding the orphanages already in place?

Answer: Because while they are fighting the adoption (whether it goes through or not) they will get themselves far more publicity than they would if they spent the money wisely. That’s why. If the child was adopted by any ordinary foreigner then they probably wouldn’t have even batted an eye but because Madonna is a well known celebrity they come out all guns blazing.

I’m sure the majority of of people around the world couldn’t care less where Madonna adopts a child from. Some may even applaud her for attempting to give this unfortunate child a family life.
