Angelina criticizes Madonna's adoption attempt

Angelina Jolie has slammed Madonna's recent adoption of a Malawian boy, insisting that the pop star should have adopted a child from a country in which there was a precedent.

According to New magazine, a British publication, Angelina was not impressed by Madonna's decision to adopt a child from Malawi. She said, "Madonna knows very well that she adopted from a country without legal adoption, so it was an unusual situation."

Jolie and her boyfriend, Brad Pitt, are also the parents of an adopted African child, daughter Zahara Marley. Jolie and Pitt however, chose a country - Ethiopia - where adoption of children from outside the country was not uncommon. When asked if she expected to deal with the type of media backlash that Madonna experienced should she adopt again, Angelina said, "I don't anticipate that being a problem for me because I don't intend to adopt a child from a country where there is no legal adoption."
