Subject: RE: BS: A little Malawi boy and Madonna
No doubt materially his life will be enriched by the adoption. I am sure there will be plenty of visits to and fro his home town. She has the resources to make this happen.

I can also see hourly documentaries aired yearly to update us on his journey. This will most likely financially reward all his family back home to some extent. It wouldn't look good to pan from shots of little David in his designer gear toddling into a private nursery to shots of his grandparents starving and thirsty.

Why she didn't choose to adopt one of the many children in the UK on the waiting adoption lists is her choice it seems. Should she be forced to take on a ten year old with behavioural needs who is the result of a failing care sytem? I don't think she should.

This is one of those times it appears when money does talk. Would David's life be better if he were left in the Malawi orphanage? Probably not. Would Madonna have adopted a child from UK if she couldn't adopt David? Almost definitely not.

Good luck to David and his family. Both in the UK and Africa.
