Clarification

So, as you can imagine, I have gotten more comments and emails about my comment concerning the government making a law that each family should adopt. Yes, I am dramatic, especially when I am talking about an issue I am passionate about and while I am feeling emotional about that subject. I really should learn to wait until the emotions calm down before writing (or saying) things too dramatically. Well, lesson learned. Of course I think forcing all families to do one certain thing is ridiculous. Adoption (and family planning in general) is a very personal thing, and there is no way any government could make one choice that would be good for each individual family.
I guess I just wanted to make the point that I think it is a much more serious issue than most people realize. As well, I really wish that the government (U.S. and others) wouldn't make it so difficult to place these children in loving homes. Again, I also wanted to make the point that I have no personal problem with Madonna wanting to adopt. Many people have judged her and made claims they cannot possibly back up. My latest posts were not about being mad at Madonna for wanting to adopt from Malawi (or at all for that matter). I am just really frustrated about the way she has gone about it, making it much more difficult for others to adopt here in Malawi, when she has the opportunity to bring about real change.
