The group Save the Children UK (Save the Children, United Kingdom) said that the star recently divorced and risk sending the wrong message by adopting a second child from the impoverished southern African nation of Malawi.
“Please, think twice,” said a spokesman for Save the Children, Dominic Nutt, explaining that many of the adoptions that occur throughout the world are unnecessary.
Nutt said he was not implying that Madonna is doing something wrong, but added that the whole process of international adoption is often imperfect.
“I do not like, even for a second to suggest that Madonna has violated the rules,” said Nutt. “But sometimes the rules can fail,” he added.
