Possession Is Nine-Tenths Of The Law

Madonna’s adoption case of David, the Malawian toddler she found in an orphanage, is nearing it’s end. Finally! You were following the case closely weren’t you? No?, well neither was I but clearly now that it’s almost over it’s back in the entertainment headlines.




There has been quite a bit of controversy surrounding Madonna and her recently found 'son':
~ Some child’s rights groups have criticized the adoption saying that it would be better if more resources were provided to the country not just this one child (who surely will be treated like a KING)
~ & there were concerns that the temporary custody would be revoked if David wasn’t being treated as well as the other Richie kids were (Right, as if he would be treated less by the Madonna-family – ha!)

The way I see it is to insure that this adoption goes without a hitch Madonna has set up a variety of charities which include the funding of 6 orphanages in Malawi. She has also hired her Gardener, yes gardener, (who must have always been a budding filmmaker – you see he was making home movies with her kids) to film the documentary "I Am Because We Are," which shows poverty and disease devastating the lives of Malawi's children, and urges people to volunteer to help.

All in all everything that Madonna is doing is great for the country and the children of Malawi ~ but I guess even if your Madonna you have to give back before you can keep what you've already got...
