I have often wondered that about people. They either adopt from another country or want you to give money to another country. There are so many kids around here that need adopting and so much money is needed. I will never figure out why they do this, I guess they are just nuts.

There is nothing wrong, but if you want to adopt a kid in the US, you're likely going to have to wait longer. There aren't that many babies up for adoption in the US because people are more likely to get abortions or try to raise the kid. You can get a kid sooner if you're willing to adopt an older child, one of a different race or one that is disabled.
I have very little respect for Madonna, but in her defense, it might not be that she wanted a child, just that she felt a connection with this specific child and wanted to help it.

I agree. I don't understand why everyone is going out of the country to adopt children. I mean no offense I understand that those children need and deserve better lives but we have a lot of kids here that deserve that too. I just don't get it...

she does not live here first off and has not for some time due to opinions
seems this child has struck a cord in her heart, as happens with many others as they visit other counties and see children in despairing circumstances and granted she can offer the child much - as she has her own natural born children
but understand why you have the question of what about the same large number more readily available that need the same kind of options

Two words...Publicity stunt... the poor child is being totally exploited... but I don't see why Madonna is getting such a hard time when noone blinked an eyelid when Angelina Jolie did the same thing...twice!

Your question is spot on, the reason this so called superstar want to adopt in a poorer country is because its easier and it gets her headlines, shes nothing more than a self centred shallow ***** and I wish she would piss off back to the U.S

There are far more children outside of the US who are orphans. Not to say that one group deserves to be adopted over another - but they're all children. What's the difference?

Madonna is not doing this for the right reasons - for if she was she would be doing it in private - no cameras no press attention
she is a star getting on in years and their are now so many contendors for her crown
