Madonna Told Hands Off New Adoption Target

Uncle wants baby to stay in Malawi....

Madonna Told Hands Off New Adoption Target ...more Madonna »

Madonna has been left reeling after the uncle of the girl she wants to adopt said he was totally against letting her leave Malawi.

The popstar, who has already adopted one child from the African country, wants to take the 20-month-old girl after finding her in a Malawian orphanage.

But the girl's Uncle, John Ngalande says he expects to eventually take custody of the child after her mother died and her father, a schoolboy at the time of birth, has taken little part in her life.

He tells The People, "I would rather we be poor and struggling with Mercy, than for her to go and live with a big white star far away.

"We were told when Mercy went into the orphanage that we would be in constant contact with her and that she would come back to us after six years. I would like to stick to that.

"Whether it be Madonna or any other white person, I'm against our child being taken away."

A source adds the news has come as a blow to Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie.

"It is a very stressful time for Madonna and Guy," they say. "As far as they are concerned they are offering two parent-less children the chance of a happy, loving home and a better future. Yet they are facing problems at every turn."

Poll  Do you think Madonna should adopt again?

Yes, she's got the best intentions

No, she should be happy with David

She shouldn't have adopted in the first place

  • This is disturbing to say the least, here we have an artist who through out her entire career has supported minorities yet they never return the favor by showing her any respect nor support her career. If Madonna were black its clear she would be far more respected as an artist. You would think Madonna would be the 1 white woman minorities loved since she clearly loves them as proven by her music and her hiring practices.

  • This whole "adoption" thing among wealthy celebs are nothing by publicity stunts. I'm aware that there are those that truly want to adopt from the kindness of their hearts. However, it's hard to believe that someone like Madonna (who spent most of her career shocking people to get get free publicity) wants to provide poor black children (or any less fortunate children for that matter) with a better life for selfless reasons. Thank God that some in Malawi are wising up.
