One has to give Madonna some credit for adopting her latest daughter, Mercy James, despite all the criticism she received. There is no doubt this girl will grow up happier and healthier than she would have in an orphanage.
However noble Madonna's cause is, her pretending to be the next Angelina Jolie is what is causing a lot of criticism. Angelina, unlike Madonna, doesn't get herself in trouble because Ms. Jolie follows each country’s adoption rules by the book. Angelina Jolie adopts genuine orphans, not kids who have relatives who can take care of them. Angelina also seems to have a true understanding of the countries where she adopts kids from.
There was Mother Theresa, Princess Diana, and now, Angelina Jolie. Madonna just doesn’t fit into that category even though she desperately tries to. In any case, saving a child is always a good thing and we all have to give Madonna some credit for this.
