It should be, but it isn’t. Instead, it is wielded as a weapon against the aid and relief of a rapidly dissolving representation of human culture.

At this point, and in addition to the establishment of the charitable Raising Malawi Foundation, her Madjesty’s immeasurable heart is simply trying to help one more child avoid the inevitable: an extremely severe life of hardship and, possibly, death.

On behalf of the Eye of The Child protection society, Boniface Mandere stated, ''The court seems to have made a decision based on Madonna's wealth. But being a good parent is not about money. It is about caring, having heart. It's about love." Now then, if the Eye of The Child protection society really believes that Madonna has no care or love to offer, maybe the injunction they should be seeking is one that contests the multi-million dollar establishment of the Raising Malawi Foundation!

To add insult to injury, it was reported by many sections of the media that David Banda’s father, Yohane, has claimed that, confused, he had been duped into allowing the adoption. In an interview with Time magazine (posted on Oct 24), he stated that he was not interested in reversing the adoption, as that would mean significant detriment to his son. As of Oct 26, he was very concerned that Madonna would abandon the adoption: “These so-called human rights activists are harassing me everyday, threatening me that I am not aware of what I am doing… I’m afraid David will be sent back and the orphanage may not even accept him back. So where will he end up? Here? He will certainly die.”

If Madonna returned David Banda to the hesitant hands of his birth father, and went on to adopt a different child, one without any living immediate family - so as to avoid any likewise complications - she would inevitably reinforce the media’s dismissive view of the visit to Malawi as a mere “shopping trip.” However, she remains constant.
