Supermodel-turned-humanitarian Tasha de Vasconcelos, who was born in Mozambique, has hit out at the adoption of African children by celebrities like Madonna and Angelina Jolie.
The 46-year-old said that by taking children away, the celebrities are ripping the heart out of Africa, reported The Independent. "There is something inside me that cries every day for not being in the place where I was born," said Vasconcelos, whose family fled civil war in Mozambique when she was 10.
