The heartthrob of billions Madonna for the first time spoke publicly about her controversial adoption of a 13-month old boy from Malawi. She travelled to Malawi on October 4 with Ritchie and spent eight days visiting several orphanages that she is funding through her charity.

The 48-year pop star blamed the media for the controversy surrounding her efforts to adopt a child. Her main concern is that the whole issue will discourage other parents from adopting African children. Commenting on the recent controversy raised by media she said “It was doing a great disservice to all the orphans of Africa, not just Malawi, by turning it into such a negative thing”.

The Singer urged her critics to travel to Africa to see the horrible condition of the children. “To see eight-year-olds in charge of households, to see mothers dying, to see open sewages everywhere, to see what I saw - it is a state of emergency,” she said.

Madonna told that she and her husband Guy Ritchie, British film director, had been thinking about adoption for more than two years. They took David to London last week after Malawi’s High Court issued them an interim adoption order. Madonna said she acted according to the law and had both oral and written approval. Madonna told that there are no adoption laws in Malawi. She adds “As far as I’m concerned, the adoption laws have to be changed to suit that state of emergency. I think if everybody went there, they’d want to bring one of those children home with them and give them a better life.”
