Madonna Adoption Under Fire - 67 groups appeal!
|
A judge in Malawi has allowed a coalition of human rights groups to proceed with a legal challenge to pop star Madonna’s adoption of a baby boy. The alliance of 67 Malawian groups lodged a petition before the court last month, saying existing legislation did not allow for intra-country adoptions.
Madonna was granted an 18-month interim custody order which enabled her to take one-year-old David Banda out of Malawi.
The adoption of the boy sparked heated debate around the globe.

The groups also allege that the the government cut corners and that Madonna used her wealth to speed up the process. The groups protesting say that the regulations are in place to protect children. What I’m not sure I get is why they are arguing - the kid will have a good life and is actually ‘wanted’ by Madonna. I’m sure a lot of it really has to do with some of the ‘odd’ things Madonna has done in the past….
