MADONNA ‘SETTING A BAD EXAMPLE’ TO PARENTS
LATEST: MADONNA has been slammed by one of Britain’s biggest adoption services for picking a Malawian child "as you would sherbet in a sweet shop".
The pop superstar and her husband GUY RITCHIE were granted interim adoption of 13-month-old DAVID BANDA on Tuesday (17OCT06), moments before he was flown out of the southern African country to live with the couple in London.
But NICK GLANVILLE, project manager for adoption service Londonkids, has accused the singer of setting a bad example to other wannabe parents.
He says, "It seems so sad there are thousands of kids in the UK in need of a home and they are being ignored in preference of fast-track adoption further afield.
"She has set a terrible example by bypassing red tape in Britain to get what she wants. She should have looked closer to home.
"Adoption is not about picking and choosing a kid as you would sherbet in a sweet shop. A child is not a fashion accessory.
"Sadly, celebrities such as Madonna, who waltz off to orphanages abroad to pick a designer baby to complete their picture-perfect family, make other prospective parents think they should do the same."
