If I had the money I would adopt a baby from overseas. I have been in very poor countries where mothers offer to sell you their children and it is heart wrenching to see the state that some children live in. I also know that unfortunately most of the children that come up for adoption here in the UK are very damaged, by drugs or abuse, some to the point where they would be a danger to any other children in the home, I personally think this is the fault of social services for not being able to offer enough support. From what I gather Madonna has wanted another child for a while, and for whatever reason has not had another of her own. Not being able to have children, even if you have them already, has a huge effect on you, and I don't think you can understand it unless you have been there. As for her getting publicity, well I don't think Madonna can do anything without getting it.
My only concern is about the time she has to spend with this new baby and her other children- i watched her documentary, they seemed lovely kids but they missed her so much when she was away, which was a lot. I do agree that the US seems to be very different when it comes to adoption- does anyone actually know where Michael Jackson's newest child came from? Do you think he attended adoption classes?
