British Charity Urges Madonna to Stop Adopting African Children (150 hits)
(Taylor Media Services) Shortly after the news became public that superstar singer Madonna was planning to adopt another child from a poor African country, the British charity Save the Children UK announced its opposition. According to the charity, Madonna’s apparent fascination with adopting poor Black children “risks sending the wrong message.” Then late last week, the Malawi government rejected Madonna’s latest adoption request.
Save the Children spokesman Dominic Nutt said in a statement that barring exceptional circumstances, children should be kept in the care of their extended families or within their communities. He added that many of the international adoptions which occur around the world “are unnecessary” and urged Madonna to “please think twice” before adopting another child from the African nation of Malawi.
