Yes, that would be Madonna. She's trying to adopt Malawian baby #2 in what I hope will be a never-ending adopt-a-thon which will end with an immortal Madonna (she's got the means to fund her immortality) adopting a child a year until all 500,000 Malawian babies have a home. 'Cause she's committed to the children there, right? Show it then, sister.
Madonna wants to adopt a child named Mercy, whose father's whereabouts are unknown and who has a large extended family.
Critics had accused the government of giving one of the world's most successful singers special treatment when she adopted her Malawian son David Banda, saying it skirted laws that ban non-residents from adopting children.
Malawi civil society groups say they plan to oppose Mercy's adoption, while aid group ActionAid said the move would not help millions of children living in poverty around the world.
I wonder which trailblazing celebrity will bring attention to the thousands of American children needing to be adopted? I guess we have to wait till that's chic again.
