#-o I’ve just got the hang of this now..eejit that I am..
Synthetic cream..
Aaargh….VEAL…and I’m a veggie
Oi you two..you’ve thrown me off me stride..what was the last letter..um..
EXISTENTIALISM..
Emma..can I be there when you ask a die-hard muslim about Allah and the nine year old girl? I want to see what a Fatwah looks like. I suggest you invest in ‘Hidey-holes’ by a Mr. S. Rushdie…
Umm..dunno what a ‘cameleon’ is Emma. Is it related in any way to a CHAMELEON?
Guess we have to agree to disagree on this one Pats..though I understand where you’re coming from. Thing is..I reckon you can love your child so much you will do anything for him or her..and if that means thinking it will have at least have food in its belly in an orphanage..then that’s what you have to do. The baby’s mother died in childbirth..so circumstances overtook the family. All very sad..
The poor wee fella was in the orphanage till his father found his feet after his wife died..and because they were in dire poverty. What I’m getting at Pats..is that the family unit could have been helped to stay together with the intervention of the kind of money that would have been a drop in the ocean to Madonna..but which would have given the Banda family a comfortable existence for life. Instead..wealth is ultimately ripping the family apart. The wee chap is in for a bumpy ride..as Ruby said..either way.
What a freak-circus the whole Malawi trip has proven to be..with Mrs. G. Ritchie believing her wealth entitles her to flout the laws of the country..the laws that would be applied to anyone else. And yes..as Bad Manners points out..the baby WAS chosen from a line-up like a commodity. Further..the baby is not even an orphan..he still has a father and a grandmother..who desperately love him. Were Madonna’s concerns truly for the child..it would be a simple matter to provide his remaining family with the wherewithall to raise him in comfort and in his own environment..
The first wealthy self-publicist to adopt a baby dying of aids..in need of love and comfort in its dying days..or an older child..abandoned to a lonely death in a Romanian orphanage [Eastern European children are just sooooo not in fashion this year]….then I’ll be impressed. Oh and btw..we have plenty of orphanages here in Britain..with an assortment of children in a variety of colours..but..I guess that’s just not exotic or eye-catching enough for the ‘material girl.’MELT
NONCHALANCE..
