Raider of the lost Ark Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Lourdes is really stunning; I actually can picture her becoming a humanitarian when she'll grow up. Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. Too bad it´s not what the media wants to see. She should put some grey clothes on, sit down with people who suffer, talk to them in grief, make an understanding face and cry a little bit. Then people will love her. At least it works for Angelina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveBoxx Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/AF_...EMPLATE=DEFAULT Madonna, in Malawi, refuses to talk about adoption By RAPHAEL TENTHANI Associated Press Writer March 29,2009 LILONGWE, Malawi (AP) -- Madonna toured an impoverished village and discussed plans Sunday for building a new school in Malawi, the central African nation where officials said she would begin proceedings this week to adopt a young girl. Madonna, casually dressed with a white fedora, walked through the village of Chinkhota holding the hand of her 12-year-old daughter, Lourdes. Dozens of reporters looked on. The 50-year-old pop star refused to answer questions about reports that she was in Malawi to adopt a four-year-old girl. She said it was "amazing" to be back in the country where she runs a charity organization and from where she adopted her son David, 3, last year. Then she rushed away in a convoy of at least three sport utility vehicles, as crowds of shouting, waving children ran after her. A security guard with the convoy said Madonna was speaking to villagers about building a school there. She was seen looking at an artist's impression of the proposed building. Hours earlier, Madonna landed at the airport in the capital of Lilongwe. Madonna was expected to appear in court Monday to sign adoption papers. A Malawian welfare official and another person involved in the adoption proceedings have said the girl Madonna is hoping to adopt is about 4 years old and her unmarried mother died soon after she was born. The girl's father is believed to be alive but no other details were available. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the case is considered sensitive. A U.S. government official has also confirmed that an adoption bid by Madonna, an American, was under way. Madonna has faced harsh criticism for years over David's adoption. Children's advocacy groups accused her of wielding her immense wealth and influence to circumvent Malawian law requiring an 18- to 24-month assessment period before adoption. But locals were not so condemning. Wilson Kalibwanji, a resident of Chinkhota, said he said he would willingly place his own son in her care to ensure him a better life. "We are poor people," he said Sunday. "If a child's mother dies, it is hard for the man to bring the child up." Austin Msowoya, legal researcher with Malawi's Law Commission, played down concerns that a second adoption by Madonna would violate any laws. He said the best interests of the child needed to be taken into account - whether that was staying in an orphanage in Malawi or getting "an education with Madonna." "When you look at these two options, then perhaps it becomes in the best interests of the child to allow the adoption if the parents and the guardians consent to it," he told Associated Press Television News on Saturday. But Save the Children UK said the recently divorced superstar risked sending the wrong message by going through with the second adoption. "International adoption can actually exacerbate the problem it hopes to solve," spokesman Dominic Nutt said Saturday. "The very existence of orphanages encourages poor parents to abandon children in the hope that they will have a better life." Nutt said he was not suggesting that Madonna was doing anything wrong - but he said the whole process of international adoptions was often flawed and sometimes linked to criminal activity. He said, barring exceptional circumstances, children should be kept in the care of their extended families or within their communities. Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg in New York, who has not commented on the adoption reports, told The Associated Press the star would not respond to comments from Save the Children. In a recent interview in Malawi's The Nation newspaper, the singer said she was considering another adoption but would only do it if she had "the support of the Malawian people and government." If the adoption goes through, Madonna would become a single mother of four. She also has an 8-year-old son, Rocco, with former husband and British film director Guy Ritchie and her daughter Lourdes from a previous relationship. She and Ritchie, who were married in 2000, obtained a preliminary divorce decree in November 2008. Madonna first traveled to Malawi in 2006 while doing charity work and filming a documentary on the devastating poverty and AIDS crisis there. She is also establishing a separate school for girls there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
