Some of these children being adopted are not without natural living parents and a wider family circle. A goal in these circumstances should be to unite a family. You can grow up happy in Africa if you have the basic things to get by. Throwing money at a child is not everything. Look at the amount of dysfunctional children in this country. You can provide aid to poor African families so that the child's parents can raise them themselves.
I wish my family never came over to the UK to have this so called better life. I would have been better of living in Africa. I don't agree that life is necessarily better in the West. I know parents who are sending their young children back to Africa to be educated and grow up.

The way you are going on lilsoulful1 about Africa sounds a bit ignorant to me.

Madonna is nothing but an attention seeker and she has been throughout her career i would never pass her as fit to adopt she probably would not even pass the background checks in the UK or the US. She bought David with her money that is pretty crystal clear.

Some people will copy because they have seen a few people in the media doing this some people maybe honourable and some may not be. Guidelines and rules should be followed for sure and everybody should have to follow them regardless of who they are. Going after children who have got living parents and a wider family circle is really not a good idea.
