Ah. Now see this is where the whole peas/pod scenario collapses.

Not that I approve of all this nonsense in the slightest, but a lot of folk seem to have overlooked that she pledged to pretty much do just that back in August.

"Where were these people when David was struggling in the orphanage? These so-called human rights groups should leave my baby alone," he said. "As father I have okayed this, I have no problem. The village has no problem. Who are they to cause trouble? Please let them stop."

who cares if she gets a bit of good press coverage, if the result is so vital?
I personally refuse to bemoan the fate of that one child that got out of the orphanage at Malawi while staying indifferent to the fate of the others.

From Madonna's MySpace;

Open Letter

My husband and I began the adoption process many months prior to our trip to Malawi. I did not wish to disclose my intentions to the world prior to the adoption happening as this is a private family matter. After learning that there were over one million orphans in Malawi, it was my wish to open up our home and help one child escape an extreme life of hardship, poverty and in many cases death, as well as expand out family.

Nevertheless, we have gone about the adoption procedure according to the law like anyone else who adopts a child. Reports to the contrary are totally inaccurate. The procedure includes an l8 month evaluation period after which time we hope to make this adoption permanent. This was not a decision or commitment that my family or I take lightly.

I am overwhelmed and inspired by my trip to Malawi and hope that it helps bring attention to how much more the world needs to do to help the children of Africa.

My heartfelt thanks for all the good wishes I have received and I hope the press will allow my family some room for us to experience the joy we feel to have David home.

My opinion? Plenty of UK kids that could do with adoption.

Unless you know my biological parents then you are so in the wrong garden with your peas and pods.
