Madonna wants more people to adopt children from Africa, despite the controversy surrounding her adoption of young David Banda. Perhaps Moss and Doherty could take a couple, after all, as we've established, they're such good role models for the young. Or perhaps we shouldn't be so flippant on such issues - Madonna says that there are a million children in Malawi alone who need "rescuing", adding that she was "saving a life" by adopting one year old Banda.
Talking to David Letterman about the adoption, she admitted that it had been difficult, though more because of the fact adoption processes in Malawi were somewhat lacking, more than because of the negative media backlash that followed her decision to adopt. She said that a social worker had warned her about the difficulties of adopting from Malawi, adding: "She didn't say don't do it, but she just said expect challenges, and, boy, did we get them. We were basically creating the laws as we went".
