Madonna's Child

Submitted by Brenda Gey, Nov 7, 2006 23:11

I don't think anyone can look into the heart of Madonna and know her motives. Nor should we try. I also do not know if she bypassed laws or timetables. To me the issue is not about Madonna, but about HOW children in this country are passed over without a chance for a loving family to particiipate in their lives.

Let's look at what WE as Americans can do. My main concern about bringing a child out of that country, is that he will not want to return to live there. Why would he? Perhaps Madonna and others will teach those children removed from their homeland that they have a nation to be proud of. These children that have been removed can learn occupations that can help save countries; i.e..farming, water management, pharmacy, medicine, teaching. That's the only way the third world societies will ever emmerge from their limited life. They need vision and hope. These adopted children should go rescue others as they have been rescued.

If indeed Madonna did spend 24k dollars on toys for this little guy, could she not spend THAT money in giving homes to the children in this country who are beaten, eating spoiled food and being used in drug traffic and prostitution. God Help Us All.
