TO ADOPT OR NOT TO ADOPT

I have been looking at the news for the past one week or so and I can't help but post a comment on the issue of the superstar Maddona adopting a Malawian son.I just wished that the child had the opportunity to speak for himself.If indead Maddona found the child sick at the time, then what was wrong in her taking the child for care.I must admit that it could have been against Malawian adoption lows, but this is a case abouth the childs survival. As advocates of the children who are undeprevilaged, we should weigh many factors before we start arguing for or against the adoption.Personaly if I were the child, I would have opted to go with Maddona rather than remaining behind to languish in poverty and ilness.If their is good prospect of this child having the best opportunity while undercare of Maddona, then I dont see anything wrong with that.It is true taht the child may not have the best cultural values that he disserve, but all of us should remember that we are at a time when we are fighting for cultural intergration to have a unified world where each and everyones culture is equal omong equals for us also to live in peace with one another.So the bottom line is that the child would be even more at an advantagious position than we ever thought and you never know, he may turn out to be one of the future prominet leader in our time.This can only happen if he get the opporunity to be so.We should therefore encourage the likes of Maddona instead of discouraging the likes of Maddona.I say this as an African who understand the life that we have.We are also at the same time trying to change our lives sop that such scenaorios may not be necessary.But in the meantime,let Maddona and her like come to the aid of those who are sufering without fear of prejudice as I would have done the same HAD I HAD THE POWER TO DO EVEN FOR THIS YOUNG BOY.SO, Bless you all.

TO ADOPT OR NOT TO ADOPT
Those who are making noise about these adoption are probably doing so for cheap publicity. What were they doing for these boy before the supposed adoption ...... some of them never knew he even existed.... and even those that knew what had they done for him....
There are probably more children in Malawi who are in similar circumsatances as this boy.... instead of whining around, let these noise makers take responsibility and assist them in the best way they know.... then we all will respect them.
I would also have loved to be adopted by Madonna and the likes... its only that am too old for that now....... then I would probably have access to all the opportunities i never had a chance to have...

Have a good day
