I am based in Malawi and am very happy that Madonna came to Malawi to adopt a child.Whoever is making noise just want $$$$$,this is the case with all African countries,they should be thankful that Madonna chose Malawi and not anyother African country,she has put Malawi on the map,people know Malawi as previously not many people knew Malawi and this will lead to more people visiting Malawi and give the exposure to our country and hopefully other celebrities will follow Madonna to help the poor people.Madonna’s visit follows Bono’s low key visit last year.
The NGO’s making noise and objecting to the adoption feel they lost out as their pockets were not filled with $$$$,any person who is unemployed will decide to form a company which is an NGO and they make useless noise.
Congratulations to Madonna and hopefully on her next visit she will give us a chance to meet her,i have been a long time fan of hers since 1981 and have always dreamt to meet her.

Those organisations who have been thwarted are furious but David’s father is reportedly "ecstatic’’ that his son is on his way to a better life.

“I appealed to the self-styled lovers of David to leave my baby alone,’’ he said.

“Where were they when David didn’t have milk when his mother died? Do they want him to go back to the orphanage?’’

He accuses the activists of being “jealous” of the boy, and tells The Associated Press he’d like to know what their interest is.

Where were the NGO’s and the lawyers who are objecting to the adoption when that child was given up for adoption?What do they contribute in terms of money towards any orphanage or orphans?What they trying to do is make noise so that they can ask for $$$ to keep quiet.End of the day they do not have any feelings towards David they just want $$$$$$ and they will keep quiet.
