Life must be nice for Madonna. The multi-platinum record selling artist can travel to a third world country and pick out kids like puppies sleeping in feces covered cages. Meanwhile, couples hoping to adopt children internationally have to sit on their asses and wait for paper work to be processed.
Yohane Banda, the father of the little boy Madonna recently adopted, is upset over the recent transaction and has garnished a lot of media attention. Banda, who certainly does not understand adoption law, wants to give his son a chance at life but does not want to give away his son.
"Nobody told me by 'adoption' it means he will no longer be my son but hers," said Banda to People magazine.
Madonna, who recently taped an interview with Oprah, claims that when she first looked into the boy's eyes, they had an immediate connection. Madonna could be this boy's chance of not dying from AIDS and the boy could be the aging artist's new Malawian pet. According to an audience member at the taping, Madonna said that she just really wanted to help this little boy who had no chance at surviving.
Obviously, Madonna is adopting this boy for purely selfish reasons. Her actions indicate that she wants to adopt this child in order to boost her worldly image and gain more affirmation that she is a good person. If Madonna was truly concerned for the entire well being of this child, she would see the bigger picture. She would realize that the relationship this boy could have with his father is paramount. Madonna can easily afford to sweep this boy, his father, and whoever else he lives with back home and set them all up with a new good life. But instead, she chose to only take the child. To take him home, clean him off, love on him, and show him off like her new little puppy.
