Jolie wouldn't adopt child illegally

Angelina Jolie has insisted that she would never adopt a Third World child illegally.

The Tomb Raider actress has two adopted children - six-year-old Maddox, born in Cambodia, and one-year-old Zahara Marley, from Ethiopa - but believes that Madonna was playing with fire when she took David Banda from Malawi.

"Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where he was born," Jolie told the Sunday Mirror. "It is a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption. Personally, I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal."
