After one son out of her first marriage and two adopted children, Madonna wanted to adopt another child. The girl she wanted to adopt was orphan Mercy James from Malawi. A few weeks ago the Malawi’s Supreme Court of Appeal refused her Madonna’s request to adopt the little girl because the future parents should be living in Malawi for at least eighteen months. Madonna appealed the adoption rejection. Yesterday she was told she was allowed to adopt Mercy James, the judge decided the girl would receive a better life with Madonna. Madonna said: “It is a new beginning for us all. The world is ours to change together now. I promise I will love, protect and guide you with my every breath.
Although I do agree that the child is probably better of with Madonna than in an orphanage, I hope she does not do this as a hobby. Lately celebrities are adopting children as if hey are shopping. It looks like this is becoming some kind of hype. I do think some kids are better of in Western society than without parents in an orphanage in poor countries like Malawi but we should make sure people adopt with the right motives.

I totally agree with you. I also noticed that celibrities are adopting children like they are buying jeans and I think that we should be more carefull who we are giving children to. I am sure Madonna would take good care of the girl, but when would it be enough and I am also doubting her motives. Does she wants to love and take care of this little girl or is she bored now she is not performing any more?
