Where can I get one of those cute, little "Ethernopians?"

From a mud hut to the son of a slut...
The fact of the matter is, this child will be better off a spoiled Hollywood brat than starving in some African village, no matter what you think of Madonna. He will have opportunities that he would never have had in Malawi. No one critizing people who adopt from China or Russia, I don't see why African adoptions are being criticized here, calling an innocent child a "mud hut" baby.
Actually, Madonna "as a mom" might not be conservative like me, but she's a much more concerned about protecting her kids than you would think. She's been around the block a few times, and I guess she doesn't want her kids starting down that path...too soon, anyway.
I'd rather stay in Malawi.
While Madonna isn't the mother I would choose for a child, I agree with you. This child is better off with someone here adopting him. Even Madonna. While I understand the desire to keep children within the community where they were born and have kin, these third-world countries have done an atrocious job of making their countries the kind of place where you would want to raise a child. Regardless of her motives, she is contributing money to help the children in the country. And this child would not have been in a home with real parents. He would have been in an orphanage. Do they really think a child in their orphanages would be better off than with most American families? If they make their country a safe and economically viable placer to raise a family, then I might agree with the concerns they've expressed.
I hate the UN with every fiber of my being. Worthless pukes.
I've known people who adopted from orphanages here years ago and they described the process very similarly. Why do you describe it as a "slave auction?" Is she purchasing the child to work for her or is she finding a child to raise in her family? Where is the slave in that?
Don't forget scank 'ho.

Is that really true? Hmm.
Would it have been better for her to get one she didn't like?
The style aspect of this is alarming really. For some reason, those scores of fully grown dalmatians that had been dumped on street corners a few years after that movie, "101 Dalmatians", comes to mind. When the popularity of the movie had waned, and the cute dalmatian puppies the fickle crowd had adopted suddenly weren't puppies any more - it was the usual discard and run method.
Unfortunately, they are not givingthem away. From friends who adopted (or are trying) in China, alot of pockets have to be lined to get your place in the adoption line.
Madonna may be the 'Material Mom' but this little guy will have a much better chance at life as the youngest Richie child than if he stayed in Malawli.
C'mon, picking a child out of a lineup? How about a discreet
individual meeting with each of the potential adoptees?
They probably didn't line say, "let's go out to the lineup?" Maybe, let's be polite and greet our visitor...
You can take the baby out of the Mud Hut, but can you take the...
