And really people, it is virtually impossible to adopt a child that does not have some family that either does or would love it; grandparents, siblings, even non custodial parents. Love isn't the issue, it's whether this family has any legal rights to keep the child from being adopted, and has the means to take care of them.
I'm not debating the merits of Madonna adopting this particular child but the argument that she shouldn't be attemtping to get her bebcuase she has grandparents is ridiculous.

1. Under U.S. law, she can only adopt and bring back to the U.S. a child who meets a strict definition of "orphan." A child who has living family who has challenged the adoption and expressed a desire to continue contact with the child does not meet this definition. This requirement is in place to protect children from child-trafficking and other unethical practices.
2. In many countries, what we call "orphanages" function as a sort of long-term foster care where a family with financial difficulties can place a child for care and education when they are young. It is not an unusual (or new) situation. It is entirely possible that a child in an orphanage is not so much an orphan as a resident of that facility with family who has every intention that the child will return to them when he/she is older. I don't know that this is the situation in this case, but it certainly is a common practice in some countries.

Listening to Gordon Lightfoot, however, should be illegal and carry the harshest penalties.
