Winfrey, who says she is happy when other celebrities save 'black' children, has sent her adopted children to a boarding school and visits them several times a year. She has also bought a house for them and hired caretakers as well, reports hollywood.com

But Winfrey is unhappy with the critics who lambast celebrity adoptions. She says: "They can stick it. It's a miracle when a child gets saved and I don't care if it's Brad Pitt and Angelina or somebody we have not even heard of. When I see them carrying around that little black baby that is so OK with me.

"The people who criticised Madonna don't know what they were talking about, because she saved a child."
