I'd like to adopt a baby. I've already got boy, and a girl. But I want another one. If you have a baby to spare please let me adopt him. I promise I will look after him.
The father of the Malawian boy David Banda has just discovered what "adoption" means. Did he think he was loaning his son for a while? Now adopted by Madonna, on a temporary basis he now says he wouldn't have agreed to adoption if he knew it meant giving up his son "for good".
Mr Banda had previously said the adoption was the "best" for his child. In today's world you know you've "made it" to the top if you can pop over to Africa and pick up a child.
Are children the latest fashion accessory?
