Holier than Thou?

So I'm reading up on Madonna's failed adoption bid and her subsequent jetting out of the country. I couldn't help but wonder how badly she wanted the child, Mercy, if she left as quickly as she did?

There are millions of children across the globe who are in desperate need of being adopted. They have no homes, no living relatives and no one to care for them. So when someone comes in, it's automatically viewed as a great opportunity for both the would-be parent and child.

Angelina Jolie is viewed as practically a saint in some areas because of her mixed family. Josephine Baker (and this might be before your time, little ones) had many, many children from all over the world. But the two ladies have one thing in common: they played by the rules.

Madonna, I'm assuming, is used to getting everything she wants and is not used to someone telling her no. So when something like an adoption happens and she's told, 'No, you have to do it like so...' she bails?

What about the child?

Malawi bent the rules for her the last time. Naturally, she expected them to bend the rules for her this time around. The government said, "No, you have to be a resident for at least 18 months." Did you see how fast her ass was back on the plane to London? It was almost as if she couldn't wait to get the hell out. Was she there to adopt a child? Or was she there to satisfy her ego?

It makes me wonder...how badly did you really want something or someone, if you gave up that easily on the first rejection?
