Reacting to Madonna's adoption of a Malawian baby, Afrika-Aphukira writes:
“For Mr. Yohane Banda, who had never heard of the pop diva Madonna until she visited Malawi last week to adopt his 13 month-old son David, the closest he could relate with the material girl was the word Dona, meaning rich white woman, in Malawian parlance. In a matter of days, he now knows her, and the rich guy Guy Ritchie, as the new parents of his son. My initial reaction to the news was amazement at how a child whose father was alive and available could be termed an orphan, and be considered for adoption.”

I say: more kudos to Madonna. She made a choice, and it was a good one. I hope she follows through on it.
The boy will grow up knowing that of all the children in his town, she loved him, and chose him. A very important fact for any child who is adopted.
Everyone who adopts makes choices. I don’t see why some evil minded people condemn Madonna for hers. I think, that on the surface, she made a good choice.
