Maybe your favorite tabloid is, but I'm not. Jeez, that kid is set for life. It would be totally cool having Madonna as yo mama.

The difference is Madonna has never been around for her own two children so why will she be around for this one? Her husband never wanted the child in the first place and it was just another publicity stunt. It really annoys me that (not just Madonna) celebrities have all this money and think they can do what they want. Madonna could have given £15,000 of her money to Malawi and they would have had a brilliant life. Then little David could have stayed with his family. There are plenty of children in the Uk that need help and looking after. Why did Madonna go all the way over to Malawi???????????? She wouldn't have as much of a struggle with the adoption process.

That's what I want to know too. I've been saying the same thing ever since this whole thing started with Madonna. What's the big deal? And now I read today that the boy's dad is afraid that all the uproar will make her change her mind and not go through with it. What? Last I heard he was supposedly saying he didn't want it to happen anyway. I think the whole thing has been a mess and I feel sorry for Madonna. The fact that a child who needed a home was going to get one was somehow overshadowed by everything else. Shouldn't that have been the most important thing?

the child is not even an orphan. he has a dad. if she was adopting 20 children then fair enough but how is adopting one boy (with a parent already) going to help. it would have made more sense to give the dad the money. The child is being taken away from his dad and family and friends. Not only that, he's being completely taken away from what he knows and is being moved to a different continent. I don't think she was even thinking about the kid. They hand picked 12 kids lined them up and when she flew in, she chose one. How unethical is that? Its pretty close to buying children. Angelina's adopting isnt better either.Those children are gonna be so confused. There's one of each race.

Things that don't seem right about Madonna's adoption:
The child already has a father who had to give him up through poverty. He was waiting to take his child back when circumstances improved. It seems wrong that a rich westerner can waltz in and take the kid away on a whim.
She sidestepped Malawi law (which ays foreigners can't adopt and you have to be in the country for a long time before you can) by using her money and influence
She just picked this kid out a a line up that was eamiled to her (like she'd choose a new designer bag)
She has no connection with Africa other than she obviously thought it was "cute" to adopt little African baby. At least Angelina had been to Africa several times and had already adopted a Cambodian child. And I beleive hers was actually an orphan not some poor little sod whose parents couldn't afford to look after them.
The whole thing smacks of "the latest celeb trend" to me. I'm waiting to hear they've started publishing catalogues of African babies for rich western white women to choose from - "
all colours and ages. Pay for our "designer match" service to match your baby's skin to the colour of your new Gucci handbag!"
Sick sick sick.
She should take that child back and give his father enough money to allow the family to stay together. Its not like she'll miss it and it would be far better for the child to be brought up by his own family in his own culture. She could adopt a British or American kid and keep them within their own culture.

Angelina followed the correct procedures etc (which are v complex). Madonna overrode a lot of these by making a huge donation so she effectively bought the child. If she had gone through the same channels as everyone else, there would have been no problem.

I think because people like Angela more than they like Madonna. And it doesn't help that now the father of the boy is trying to say he didn't want to give his baby up for good just temporary....what??? Sounds like somebody is money hungry.

Does it really matter who adopts as long as the child is taken care of and loved? At least it is one more child that won't be "left behind!!!!!" GO MADONNA!!!! Let her adopt 50 if she wants.

I think its because we have many children in this very country who need to be adopted.
