Why Hugh Jackman supports Madonna!

Hugh Jackman is speaking publicly about his family specifically, the adoption of daughter Ava and son Oscar, through American adoption agencies. Hugh claims that in his native Australia, adoption laws and regulations are "too restrictive", almost as if Australian agencies are trying to discourage adoption from Asia or Africa.



Hugh also defends Madonna's attempted adoption of Mercy James, saying that he's sure Madonna was coming from "a good place".u00a0

Hugh Jackman has sent a message of support to Madonna after her failed bid to adopt a Malawian orphan while bitterly attacking Australia's adoption laws.

The Aussie movie star and his wife, Deborra-Lee, have two kids who they adopted as babies from America - Oscar, eight, and three-year-old Ava.

But, like Madonna, their hopes of giving a home to a Third World child were crushed by rules that made it virtually impossible to adopt from Africa or Asia.
