I didn't care much about Madonna adopting this latest little girl from Malawi mostly because she does it so often, but then I read the following. Reuters reports:
The father of a Malawian girl being adopted by Madonna says he has dropped his fight to get the child back and has urged the U.S. pop star to take good care of her.
Malawi's Supreme Court on Friday approved Madonna's application to adopt a second child from the country, overturning a lower court ruling.
James Kambewa, the father of 4-year-old Mercy James, originally said he opposed the adoption.
However, he told Reuters on Saturday he had decided not to fight the case, asking only that Mercy be brought up knowing he was her biological father.

So if I took a jet over to Africa, found what I considered a cute little African girl, I could just demand to adopt her? I think someone on the Madonna side has mistaken adoption for abduction. Oh well.
