A Malawian Judge Tells Madonna That She Cannot Adopt A Malawian Child!

Madonna is rich & she has loads of money.But,that didn't matter to Esme Chombo!She is the Malawian judge that denied her adoption bid.And I think that it's a good thing that she did.

I don't see Madonna's adopted son,David,being brought up in the African tradition.The same goes for the little girl & boy that Angelina Jolie adopted.Both her & Madonna seem to be raising these children outside of their culture.These children should be able to identify & relate to people of their own race.It is imperative that these children are taught about their real heritage & traditions.

Here's more on the adoption denial from The Sun:

"The 50-year-old US star was so confident Mercy would be her daughter she had already held celebratory parties and refurbished her home to accommodate the tot.

But in a shock move, Malawian Judge Esme Chombo rejected Madonna’s adoption bid on the grounds she is NOT resident there.

And she launched a stinging attack on high-profile celebrities who jet into poverty-stricken countries to adopt children.

The head of the orphanage where Mercy will today return said the ruling would be “like a dagger in Madonna’s heart”.(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

And here's some of the things that people should consider before they think about interracial adoption from Adoption.com:

"Transracial or transcultural adoption means placing a child who is of one race or ethnic group with adoptive parents of another race or ethnic group. In the United States these terms usually refer to the placement of children of color or children from another country with Caucasian adoptive parents.

People choose to adopt transracially or transculturally for a variety of reasons. Fewer young Caucasian children are available for adoption in the United States than in years past, and some adoption agencies that place Caucasian children do not accept singles or applicants older than 40. Some prospective adoptive parents feel connected to a particular race or culture because of their ancestry or through personal experiences such as travel or military service. Others simply like the idea of reaching out to children in need, no matter where they come from.

Adoption experts have different opinions about this kind of adoption. Some say that children available for adoption should always be placed with a family with at least one parent of the same race or culture as the child. This is so the child can develop a strong racial or cultural identity. These people say that adoption agencies with a strong commitment to working with families of color and that are flexible in their procedures are very successful in recruiting "same race" families. Other experts say that race should not be considered at all when selecting a family for a child. To them, a loving family that can meet the needs of a particular child is all that matters. Still others suggest that after an agency works very hard to recruit a same-race family for a certain period of time but does not find one, the child should be placed with a loving family of any race or culture who can meet the child's needs."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
