Apparently the newish element of the scandal is that her educational foundation in Malawi will promote kabbalah. I'm not sure why this bothers people (any more than any other religious missionary-ism that goes on in Africa), but then just seeing that teaser was enough to make me change the channel so maybe there was something actually important in the story.
I don't really care, so long as the appropriate people gave consent for the adoption. The people I know who have adopted from other countries (three from Eastern Europe and one from China) did so simply because it was a much faster process than trying to adopt in the United States with much more certainty of success and minimal risk of later intrusion from birth parents.
