Madonna’s recent nine day excursion to the poor and torn country of Malawi was rumored to be an adoption trip, but this rumor was quickly shot down by Madonna’s publicist. 

Well, apparently Madonna was in the process of adopting a one year old Malawian boy from a father whose wife had died and two other sons had died of Malaria.  He did not want the boy to suffer the same consequences as the rest of his family, and sent the boy to an orphanage. 

Well, apparently now the father had second thoughts, and a watchdog group for adopted children has stepped in basically saying Madonna should not get special treatment and there should be no “accelerated” adoption process, to protect the children. 

I’m not quite sure I understand.  They are preventing a child who otherwise will live his life in an orphanage, from being in a priveleged lifestyle, able to afford schooling, nutrition and everything else that kids should be able to enjoy, and the government is stepping in to prevent this “travesty”?  This is backwards….totally.  This is exactly what is wrong with society.
