The biological father of Baby David – the 13-month-old boy adopted by Madonna _ on Wednesday criticized human rights groups seeking to reverse the move and said his child should stay with the star.

The Human Rights Consultative Committee, a coalition of 67 organizations, launched a legal challenge Tuesday to the Malawian government decision to relax the usual ban on adoptions by foreigners and relax the requirement that prospective parents have to stay with the child for 18-24 months for assessment before the adoption is formalized.

“Where were these people when David was struggling in the orphanage? These so-called human rights groups should leave my baby alone,” Yohane Banda said.

These so-called human rights groups are nothing but media whores using Madonna’s celebrity status to get into the spotlight. If they actually gave a damn, they would have worked with David’s father and he wouldn’t have been in that orphanage in the first place.

Until they put a plan in place to care for David and the other 999,999 children in Malawi orphanages, they should just shut up.
