Judge Approves Challenge to Madonna Adoption

Madonna's adoption of a baby David Banda can be legally challenged, a judge in Malawi ruled.

A coalition of 67 human rights groups filed a petition after Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie were awarded 18-month interim custody and allowed to take 1-year-old David out of the country.

Activists pointed out intra-country adoptions are not allowed in Malawi and argued the Malawian government "fast-tracked" the adoption. They want involvement in an assessment of Madonna's fitness as a mother.

At a court in the capital Lilongwe, Judge Andrew Nyirenda ruled that the groups can pursue an application for a full review of the custody order.

He said, "The applications from both applicants are accordingly granted and they are both joined as amicus curiae."

Just think: Of all the kids in all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she had to pick this one.


Maybe we should send the human rights groups some footage of her "fitness"!!!
