Madonna has permission from the Malawian government to adopt the little girl Mercy after the country's highest court overturned an earlier descision to reject her application. Madonna spotted Mercy three years ago in an orphanage, but waited untill earlier this year with the adoption application.
The Malawian's Law requires the new parents living in Malawi for 18 to 24 months. A local group 'The Eye of the Child' says these rules are neccesary to prevent child abuse and they think foreign parants should be the last adoption option. No other foreign parents have been allowed to adopt one of the 1 milion orphans without observing the law. Chief Justice Lovemore Munlo said the intial descision by the high court in April to reject Madonna's adoption application had failed to take into account of modern realities.
Mercy's mother, 18, died soon after she gave birth to mercy and her father is unknown. There have been reports that relatives of Mercy are uncomfortable with the court's descision. But it's clear that the government is in favour of the adoption. They want to give Mercy a chance to have better future and education. Judge Munlo Agreed: 'Either to stay at the orphanage without the love of family and live with the possibilty of destitution or be with Madonna where she is assured of love. Every child needs love'.
I completely agree with the Malawian government. Every child needs love, and every child should have a chance to get that love. The relatives are uncomfortable with the descision, yeah right.. why was Mercy still in the orphanage, if they love that child so much? It's a bit too late to complain about the adoption. Only the thing that strikes me, is that a famous person like Madonna can adopt a child like this, without following the rules. They make an exception for a celebrity. What about the other 999.999 children, don't they need love too? I hope this would change the law for all the other people who wants to adopt a Malawian child. If madonna is the only one who can adopt a child like this, it would be wrong!

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI totally agree with you on the fact that it should be easier to all of us to adopt a Malwaian child. It is not fair to make an exemption for a celebrity.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYou are right. Every child deserves care and love. The child Madonna adopted certainly is lucky because her future is now secure, unless Madonna will do something really bad in the future that will endanger her children. On the other hand, I agree with the the Eye of the Child group. Parents who want to adopt children should follow the rules. Making Madonna as an exemption to the rule is not fair.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAgain you see that nobody is equal. The person that has the most money gets the child first. No rules are seen then.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenwell written blog!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenEvery child needs love, that i agree with you. Bur are you sure that Madonna is really the person who is caring and loving? I don't think so, I read an article lately about her children and how she left them a lot of times all alone because she has a busy schedule. The day she adopted her son, she only saw for what ehuuum 10 minutes. Are you that she is the right person to give love? The only thing she will do is to provide a good future for this little girl.
