I'm no Madonna fan, but I wonder....

I agree on the "no fan" part, well at least her recent stuff.

So far I'd say that Madonna is the only one acting in the best interest of the child.

The dad first said he was happy for the boy, now it feels to me like he's looking for a big slice-o-pie.

The Malawi human rights group are using the case to bring attention to their cause. Yeah, the adoption was probably fast tracked due to "star power" but they don't seem to have a case for stating that the adoption was illegal.
The Malawi would bring the kid back just to make a point.

So assuming that the child really was up for adoption, which seems to be the case, I don't see the issue here. The kid gets a mom who cares (flakey as all hell, but still cares) and a chance at a better future. I thought that's what the adoption process is for.
