ame opinion about Josephine Baker?
...different motives, Josephine Baker loved and cared about her orphaned children, Madonna is going with the trend.... however, it can't be all that bad to be adopted into a rich family. Next time, they need to make sure that the child is truly an orphan
I certainly see no problem with Madonna adopting a child and bringing him into a life of wealth and privilege. I'm not sure what process Josephine Baker went through to adopt a child, but to take a contemporary example, Angelina Jolie folllowed the laws of the United States and of her adopting countries (Cambodia and Ethiopia). She did not pay money to bypass local laws and then bring a child into her home country with no thought or preparation to her own laws.
