Madonna's adoption: She took a risk

Angelina Jolie says she was horrified by attacks on Madonna about her adoption of a toddler from Malawi but suggested the pop singer took a risk because of the African country's adoption laws, a French magazine reported.

''Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where he was born,'' the 31-year-old actress was quoted as saying in this week's edition of Gala. ''In that country there isn't really a legal framework for adopting. Personally, I prefer to stay on the side of the law.'' (AP)
