Madonna Malawi adoption concerns

Per New York Times, Madonna has petitioned to adopt a second child from Malawi. The 14-month-old girl, named Mercy James, comes from the same orphanage as Madonna’s son, David Banda, 3, whom she met in 2006 and whose adoption was completed last year.

BBC News reports however, that charity Save The Children has urged Madonna to rethink the adoption process, saying the girl should be cared for by her extended family, and only taken abroad as a last resort.

The Twitterverse reacted to the news.
