to her own kids, and limiting the number of genetic offspring by adopting kids who are already here to add to her family could be considered quite laudable. Adopting children color is even more laudable, since so few whitefolks with money care to do that.

However, yes, I'd think supporting the village, especially the women, should be part of the bargain. It would be in my case, but perhaps she doesn't think like that.

A lot of people here in the US are adopting kids from China, eastern Europe, and central Asia. I have a cousin who has adopted 3 children from the latter. I can't accuse him of buying any of those children who would have been throwaway orphans in their own countries. I can't accuse Madonna of doing the same.

So yes, she's using her money to fast track the adoption, although it seems not to have worked quite the way she'd hoped. Cutting through government red tape isn't always a bad thing, though, when it's a child in an orphanage or foster care who has to do the worst part of the waiting.
