Angelina Jolie has criticized the adoption ways of pop star Madonna in case of the Malawian child, David Banda, whom Madonna adopted lately. Jolie says that since the manner of adoption was ‘illegal’ and, therefore, wrong.
Jolie is talking about Madonna’s having adopted one-year-old David, a boy from Malawi, whom she brought to the U.K. with her.
The child will be staying with Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie for one and a half year, after which the Malawian officials would decided if the couple could legally adopt David.
Jolie, talking about the adoption, said:
Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where he was born. It’s a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption…Personally, I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal.
There seems to be enough gunpowder in the statement to have an explosion. So, is a controversy in the offing? Depends much upon how Madonna reacts to it.
