what do you think about the dad's public appearance? do you think he still have the rights for his son even david stays in the orphanage? just curious…
well since oprah is lending her show to clear madonna's side and since dad's change his view about this adoption business, i guess everything will be okay now..
Here are some things she says about the adoption:
Madonna has been thinking about adopting for about 2 ½ years and had started the process long ago with a social worker.
She never thought about adopting from Los Angeles, as some reports have stated.
She never spoke with or got advice from Brad or Angelina about adopting.
She said that what she has now is an interim adoption and that she was allowed to take David home for the 18 months instead of living in Africa, which is customary. A social worker will check-in with the family to see if David is being cared for properly. At the end of 18 months the adoption will be final.
She does plan on taking David back to Africa with her when she does her travels to check on her "Raising Malawi" project. She is planning one or two trips a year.
Part of the adoption rules for the country state that verbal and written permission from an extended member of the child's family must be obtained before an adoption could take place.
She did meet David's father and he did tell her that he was grateful that she was giving his son a chance at life and an education.
She feels that David's father is now saying he didn't understand the meaning of adoption due to the press hounding him.
Madonna's quote on the adoption:
"My goal, and this is part of the bigger picture, is that I will give David an education and a chance for a better life. And what better way for him to go back and help his own people and help the Malawians and be a voice for his country than to be able to first have a life and be educated."
