If you have not lived in Africa then you really do not know the circumstances under which little children live: They live in sickness and in abject poverty. They live a heartbeat away from death. They live in conditions that are anathema to the British way of living.
Why condemn Madonna for taking one child out of a miserable, impoverished existence to one that will give the child a good life?
If people can take Vietnamese and Cambodian orphans away from a life of early deprivation, then why cannot Madonna adopt a child of the World and give him life?
I think that what she has done is admirable and unselfish.
If others think the opposite then they should consider that many African children get few breaks in life. If Madonna can give a child a break who are we to criticise?
