    Some of your comments piss me off. What’s the problem with Madonna showing genorousity to the improvished african child? If Africa’s leaders cannot improve the poor conditions of e orphan child,then let’s allow western celebs to help!!

    Madonna needs to adopt a child that has no one to care for them.Obviously the grandmother wants her Granchild,just because Some white woman comes along with money doesn’t give her the right to snatch her relative.What is this modern day slavery with benefits?The days of ripping Black African children from the arms of their family members are over.If she really cared about the children in mawi and it’s people she would respect it’s people and the children.It’s about using money and power to get her way.I don’t care about her money we are talking about people,they are not pets.The truth is when you are poor you don’t have a voice.The one with the money holds the power.MAdonna is a hag that wants what she wants no matter who she hurts.Again I don’t care about her money it’s not about that.This child has family and belongs with them.Black people need to speak up about this,because if they allow this adoption to go through without the grandmothers consent,they are selling blacks as cattle.

    jolia, you’re right: Madonna should’ve moved to Malawi, with David’s biological dad, and ensured her adopted son maintain a relationship him. All adoptive parents should do that, right? And do not throw Kabbalah to her face. She makes it a weekly commitment to try to find solace in spirituality. You can say that of how many celebrities?
    And, Jake, how do you KNOW Madonna shortcut the rules. Were you there when she decided this? But you’re right, too: brother-kissing Angelina Jolie, a supposed homewrecker, admitted former self-cutter, is way more fit.
    And “child trafficking,” dan – really? Is Madonna hurting David? Do tell.
    Who cares that Madonna is recently divorced, or that she has a younger boyfriend. She has a system that ensures success. She has a structured life and resources. She wants to give Mercy a better life. I say, Brava! Yes, I’m a fan, but let’s be fair.
    Madonna will never please everyone. Bet her death will polarize, too.

    I see a lot of sick jealousy here. If she makes one life better, what are you doing to improve the world? Nothing.

    Let Madonna adopt.
    It’s just plain ridiculous to even question this.
    She’s more than capable of handling a million dollar career, home, and a family.
    Let her adopt 20 more, if needed. There are tons of orphans on this planet that need a home.
    I think it’s beautiful that she’s adopting the children that have been forgotten about in life.

    “Madonna will never please everyone. Bet her death will polarize, too.”
    No, it won’t. She’ll be so old before she realizes no one wants to see her elderly crotch and chicken legs that few will remember her. If she’s still vamping around by then, she’ll be as ludicrous as Liz Taylor has made herself but doesn’t realize she has.
    Mia Farrow started this trend, if anyone remembers. She wound up with 11, which I think is still the record.

    “What I don’t understand is why everyone doesn’t protest like this every time Angelina adopts another kid from an impoverished area.”
    Was she married during the adoptions and biological births? I’m asking.

    Was she married during every adoption and biological birth? I’m asking.
