"I truly believe that if ever a state social agency destroyed a family, it destroyed ours. We wanted and tried to stay together. Our home didn't have to be destroyed. But the Welfare, the courts, and their doctor, gave us the one-two-three punch. And ours was not the only case of this kind."
The Autobiography of Malcolm X
Madonna is planning on campaigning to change the laws of Malawi. She is not a citizen of Malawi, and she does not qualify to adopt from Malawi as a single person. She also does not qualify to adopt from Malawi because she does not want to remain in Malawi for the required 18 months to complete an adoption from that country. The child that Madonna wants to adopt may have a living father, which Madonna's attorney has called an "opportunist".
Madonna is the perfect example of unethical adoption, and the destruction families to satisfy the wants, needs, and whims of a rich white woman at the expense of the very child she says she loves. That is slavery. She is trying to buy a child and remove that child from her home, remove that child from her history and birthright. And for no other reason than that Madonna wants that child and has the means and money to do so.
It seems to me that it takes a lot of blind ignorance to one's privilege to think that because you are a rich white woman, you can just go around plucking children from around the world, without regard to the laws of the country, the child's family, or the best interests of the child. If adoption is about satisfying the needs of the Adopter and not the child, than that is a form of buying a child, not adoption. And to actually think of campaigning to change the laws of other countries? That makes Madonna a world slave promoter in child trafficking. Where is the respect for the homeland of that child's country? or that child's' family? Or that child's ethnic origin and history?
Apparently, Madonna's charge, David, has a father who loved and wanted him, but was afraid that David would die like his mother and siblings. So David's father lovingly placed him in the care of an orphanage, visited him, and was never consulted about placing David for international adoption.
Imagine, for just one moment, the pain that David's father must feel. Think of the pain that David may feel someday when he grows up and realizes what has happened.
Destruction of a family, sound familiar?
Madonna is not the only celebrity to have crossed the line of ethical adoptions. Angelina Jolie's child from Cambodia was facilitated by Lauryn Galindo, convicted of child trafficking to make a profit.
"Her most high profile case? Matching movie star Angelina Jolie with her son Maddox two years ago. Jolie met her son while visiting a Cambodian orphanage."KOMO News.
Interestingly enough, Ms. Galindo believed that she was doing a good thing, all the while raking in plenty of money to buy nice things for herself, equivalent of a modern day slave trader in children.
