Awaiting the Vultures
After reading the latest updates regarding Madonna’s personal life I feel the need to express my own thoughts. First, so what!! If the common individual adopted a baby from Malawi would every major news organization be involved in the process? Everyone feels it is in their job description to scrutinize, judge and analyze what celebrities do and don’t do meanwhile, what are these people doing?? you guessed it, I don’t know either. Are these judgmental bloodsucking individuals simply jealous, could it be! Madonna like other celebrities do seem to be jumping on the bandwagon to adopt children from poor countries but do we really know what she is thinking? Just because we have all seen her almost nude and wear cones on her breasts does this really classify us as “friends” or even experts? NO WRONG AGAIN!!
Ok.. Ok.. maybe I am being a little harsh but I really do not think people can relate to what conditions some of these children are accustom to. I know if I were to go there and see these parent-less, helpless children I too would want to take some of them home. The problem, I do not have the money to do such things like the celebrities do. Madonna like others that have adopted know they can provide for the children and when I say provide I mean in terms like if Madonna wanted to adopt 12 more children clothe, feed and give them all the luxuries including a full education she would only have to go get the money out of the little piggy bank with the words “for a rainy day” on it.
Eye of the Child, a Malawian advocacy group that is campaigning to stop the adoption saying “It’s not like selling property. It is about safeguarding the future of a human being who, because of age, cannot express an opinion.”
Well you know what, if the child dies within the next week he also will not be able to give an opinion.
Save the Children’s exploited children advisor Daniela Reale told CNN that the best place for a child was in their home country.
The problem with this one: If they remain there the price they will pay will be their lives. A villager from Malawi has said if it were not for the adoption they would have had to bury him, how’s that for a good enough reason. His home country is full of disease, mal-nutrition, lack of education and more ill-imaginable happenings than you or I want to discuss.
The question really at hand is whether exploiting a child to the media is worth saving a life. I would have to agree it is. Maybe some of these people yelling about good deeds and deciding which good deeds are in actuality bad ones should get off your high horse and think about what good deeds you have done to save lives this week!
