Bono Defends Madonna's Adoption Of African Baby

U2�s Bono has defended Madonna�s decision to adopt a child from Malawi.

Since bringing baby David home form the African country Madge has come under fire for adopting a child from Malawi; with some saying that she should have left the child in his own culture and done something to help the country�s economy.

However, speaking before his gig in Sydney recently, Bono told the Sun: �Madonna should be applauded for helping top take a child out of out of the worst poverty imaginable and giving him a better chance in life.

�Baby David is so lucky to have been adopted by someone who can give him a chance of survival in this world and I don�t think it�s fair that people are criticising her.

�About 20 years ago when my wife Ali and I went to Africa, shortly after Live Aid, a man who quite clearly loved his child came up to us and begged us to take him.

�It is heart breaking but he asked up to take his child home with us because he couldn�t feed him. This happens all the time in parts of Africa where unthinkable poverty means people simply can�t feed their children.�
