See You in Court Madonna

Allie @ Gone Hollywood | Saturday, October 14, 2006

Well, well, well… it looks like you can’t just pick up a new baby, like a pair of shoes after all. Frankly, yes… the kid would be much better off with Madonna. What’s your take on this?

MADONNA jetted back to Britain yesterday after her controversial tour of Malawi’s orphanages – but without the baby she has adopted.

Officials in the poverty-stricken south east African nation said 13-month-old orphan David Banda would stay there until his passport has been processed. But as Madonna, 48, landed at RAF Northolt in West London in a private jet, UK agencies blasted her “fast-track” adoption of David.

They said it was was “deeply worrying” if rules that say prospective parents must live in Malawi for two years before adopting had been waived because Madonna was setting up a £2million orphanage. Yvette Gayford of Parents and Children Together, a group advising those who wish to adopt foreign babies, said: “This is wrong in every sense. Adoption must never be allowed on a whim. “Quick decisions like this for celebrities does not help anyone. We oppose this very strongly.”

Maxine Caswell, of the Overseas Adoption Support and Information Service, said: “This makes it look quick and easy – as if you can swoop into a country and take any child.”

The Malawi-based Eye of the Child charity said it is seeking a court injunction banning Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie from taking David out of the country. read more…
