I thought the third-world adoption fad had already came and went, but I was wrong. Madonna is still keeping that fire burning. Reports and rumors are circulating that Madonna is looking to add another brown baby to her clan, except this time she wants a little girl from India. Of course, I'm sure Madonna and Angelina will set up play dates so their United Nations families can get together and mingle. I don't begrudge Madonna for wanting to adopt children, that's fine. But the "fetishization," if you will, of adopting babies from India, Africa or the third world as some sort of status symbol is irksome. Nonetheless when Madonna wants something, she gets it. She muscled the Malawi government into giving her David, so she'll get her little Indian bundle of joy too.
Showbiz Banana! has the story on the potential adoption.
