Don’t Preach To Madonna About Adoption

Neil Steinberg of The Chicago Sun-Times stood up for Madonna in wake of criticism the singer has received for adopting a 13-month old boy, who has a living father, from Malawi. “The world as it is needs more adoptive parents, not fewer,” he writes. “Anybody who wants to care for a stranger’s child should get a medal, and those who question them — bureaucrats with more local pride than human pity, advocates looking to score a point on the endless racial tug-of-war, news harpies who will say anything that catches attention — should be ashamed of themselves.”
