Quote from Parent:
"There is just a lot of bureaucracy and administration and papers that have to be gone through. [David's] adoption was the beginning of the creation of adoption law in Malawi. I’m the template, a role model for the future…I went to Malawi thinking I was going to save children’s lives and make a big difference in their lives, and hopefully I have. The surprise to me was how much they changed me." - Madonna on adopting David from Malawi.
