This is a funny baby adoption drama. After changing her mind about not wanting to adopt, Madonna is having a difficult time taking her newly adopted son out of Malawi. It was as if she “was coming from God,” Madonna and her hubby, Guy Ritchie, came to help to fund a new $4.9million orphanage as part of Madonna’s Raising Malawi charity program and tried to adopt an African child.David Banda, a 13-month-old boy is the her target, “She was carrying the baby,” one of the African said. “She was smiling and saying ‘ah, beautiful’.” David’s mother had died days after giving birth to him without a nurse or medical attention. His father, Yohame Banda, 32, could not afford to feed his son, so he trekked 80km to the orphanage. Justice Andrew Nyirenda granted Oct. 12 allowing Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie to take the baby.
But what’s next? The father of the Malawian child pop star Madonna wants to adopt said on Sunday he had not originally planned to give up his son for good when he handed him to an orphanage after the death of his wife last year. Peasant farmer Yohane Banda, who can barely read or write, admitted he didn’t fully understand what was happening when he went to court on Thursday in his best clothes to see for the first and only time the woman who was offering his 13-month-old son David a new life in the West.The 30-minute court hearing was conducted in English, with Mr. Banda using a translator. He said he had been bewildered by the speed at which David had been put up for adoption. “It has all been crazy. Everything has happened so fast. I can’t believe what’s happening.” But he added: “In court, I did understand I was agreeing to give the baby up for adoption.”Mr Banda had never heard of Madonna or her raunchy songs. He was told she was “a very nice Christian lady”.
“Madonna and her legal counsel have been working on her plans to adopt a baby from Malawi for quite some time. She had hoped to keep this very private and a family matter, but things didn’t go that way,” the singer’s spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg, tells PEOPLE. “I was not made aware of many of the chapters in this ongoing process. Hopefully Madonna and family will soon be reunited once everything goes through.”
The Human Rights Consultative Committee (HRCC), a grouping of 67 human rights NGOs in Malawi, tells PEOPLE they hope to halt Madonna’s Adoption of a 13-month old baby boy for the moment. The chairman of the group said, “The laws of Malawi are clear that if one wants to adopt a child one has to stay with the child for at least 18 months for assessment.”However, Madonna filed papers with the High Court in Lilongwe last Wednesday and within a day she was granted an interim adoption, allowing the 18-month trial period to be completed in Britain.
Madonna should nail herself on her crucifix – for real, this time. With an estimated fortune of $A620 million, she agreed to pay big bucks for the transaction. In exchange for her human package, it’s claimed that she will pour $3 million into a centre to help 1000 Malawi orphans. She’ll also reportedly spend a million on a documentary about the plight of children there.Aside from any legal “boring” stuff, what I can’t understand is why she had to pick a boy who still had at least one parent alive. I think the orphanage should have only allowed her to consider children who were truly orphans.Will children educated at Madonna’s new orphan centre and bin for rejected babies be taught a curriculum based on her pet religion, kabbala, as claimed? Let’s stop this baby monster!
