Madonna went on Oprah Winfrey’s show yesterday and made it known she has no intention of returning her adopted baby even though it is now clear that the father – who is a poor illiterate farmer in Africa – did not understand what the adoption process really meant. Madonna was noticeably angry that people would have the nerve to be upset after she stole a baby. Celebrities – they’re just like us! Madonna says:
"I understand that gossip and telling negative stories sells newspapers. But I think for me, I'm disappointed because it discourages other people from doing the same thing—for anybody who had the idea that they, too, would like to open their home and give a life to a child living in an orphanage who might possibly not live past the age of 5. Anybody who had that idea would be discouraged from doing it. For me, that's what disappoints me the most. I feel like the media is doing a great disservice to all the orphans of Africa, period, not just Malawi, by turning it into such a negative thing."
I read that like 5 times, mostly because I can barely read, but also because it seems the bitch who stole someones kid is trying to take the moral high ground. You can't just make things up and then use that as the foundation of your argument. No one's saying people shouldn't adopt orphans, they're just saying that maybe it's uncool to bumrush a starving illiterate farmer and play on the love for his son so you can get some attention. Need proof?
She added that her new baby David had been tested for several diseases and did not appear to have HIV, even though his mother and siblings had contracted the virus.
If Madonna gave a damn about giving kids comfort and hope, she would have adopted a child who had none. She probably whips her butler as he runs her around the gardens in a rickshaw and thinks she's hero then too, because the whip is made of rope and not leather. And he did turn that corner kinda fast.
