Madonna says adoption has been hell.
Madonna says that adoption 13-month-old David Banda in Malawi were so difficult, both logistically and emotionally, that she repeatedly considered giving up.
In an interview with Time Magazine Madonna said...
"Every day I thought, 'OK, forget it. We'll find a family here to look after him. I just kept thinking, 'Oh god, I don't want to get too attached, because what if it doesn't happen?' " 
Madonna lashes out at the media saying...
"There's a lot of Brits, reporters on the street, who've said, 'Why don't you adopt a kid from Britain?' Or, 'Why did you adopt a black child?' So a lot of people's hangups and 'isms' are sort of mixed into this, too. It's just kind of a cocktail for disaster in terms of media perception."
Madonna continued to say...
"It was one fucking thing after the next, everywhere we went. So the idea that people think I got a shortcut or an easy ride is absolutely ludicrous. I have never worked so hard for anything in my life, and I've never been given such a hard time. And my celebrity has worked against me in every way."
But why did Madonna adopt a child from another country? There are thousands of children in the UK and the USA waiting to be adopted.
