Madonna Not Alloweed To Adopt

Franca Schulte — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 16:26:32 +0000

It has been a big debate in the last little bit whether or not Madonna was allowed to adopt a child from Malawi, a country in southeast Africa. You would think what a strange debate to have right? Here is a child who could be given so much opportunity with all the money Madonna has, and an chance to have a family. Why shouldn’t that be allowed? Well, because Madonna hardly takes care of her own, as well as her being a dysfunction family. So where are the boundaries?

On Friday, April 3rd, Madonna was rejected by Judge Esme Chombo to adopt a 3-year-old child from Malawi because she has not been a resident of the country for the last 18 months says NYTimes. Madonna has adopted before, her son David Banda which was completed in 2008 but Judge Esme was warned against celebrity adoptions saying it could lead to child ‘trafficking’. Anyone could come to Malawi and arrange for adoption but could have great consequences on the children.

A ton of people have said that Madonna is juts doing this for attention and seen the publicity Brangelina get for adopting children from 3rd world countries and wants the same. Everyone thinks that Madonna is adopting for the wrong reasons. As nice as it is for a child to be adopted and some wait for this moment for their entire livesat the same time, it has to be accepted into a loving and functional family which might not be the case with Madonna. So then again I ask, where are the boundaries drawn?

Weepy Madge speaks out on Adoption

Gayla McCord — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 17:22:57 +0000

A teary-eyed Madonna went on Oprah Winfrey’s show to justify her love for an adopted African baby and accuse the media of manipulating the facts to trump up a scandal.

The Material Girl has been accused of using her money and fame in order to get around the African nation’s residency requirements and secure the interim adoption of 13-month-old David Banda. More…

I still stand behind my thought that people who KNEW who Madonna was/is and how much money she’s worth have poisoned the mind of little David’s father.

I think it just goes to show that no matter how 3rd world anyone is or how far removed from the media they are, everyone is capable of trying to jump the train to financial opportunity – even at the cost of a childs happiness and security.

Madonna Should Adopt Her Babies Daddy

Gayla McCord — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 14:00:32 +0000

Via People – The father of the 1-year-old boy who Madonna plans to adopt is saying he didn’t realize the pop singer was taking the toddler “for good,” the Associated Press reports.

“Our understanding was that they would educate and take care of our son just as they were doing at the orphanage,” Yohane Banda, 32, told AP in a telephone interview on Sunday. “I am just realizing now the meaning of adoption.”

I think it’s rather umm convenient that he realizes this AFTER the adoption – could it possibly have anything to do with having time to realize just how famous and wealthy Madonna is?

Methinks the dad wants to be adopted too!

Perhaps this is a bit harsh, but personally, I’d take the baby back – rather than maintain an ongoing fight about who knew what about adoption, perhaps the father should take the responsibility and live with the guilt that he cheated his son out of a life even *I* dream of.

What would you do if you were Madonna?

Madonna’s Baby Shopping & Adoption

Gayla McCord — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 15:12:53 +0000

After reading – Madonna’s adopted baby’s father tells how he was powerless to stop her – I have to wonder just how much of his mindset has come after discovering WHO would be adopting the child. Are his feelings being manipulated by the financial greed of someone hoping to cash in or are they truly his? I’m betting on the outside influence.

I think the child is very lucky to have the opportunities that a life with Madonna will be able to afford.

Madonna adopts baby boy in Malawi

Gayla McCord — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 23:14:34 +0000

In the lastest accessorizing trend to hit Hollywood Stars, Pop diva Madonna adopted a young boy in Malawi and moved ahead with plans to fund a center for 1,000 orphans, many of whom lost parents to AIDS in the impoverished African nation.

Regardless of whether or not it’s a publicity stunt – the world is becoming just a little brighter place thanks to the stars investing in areas that need it most.

Though I can’t fathom just how one person can walk into a room where several children are hoping to become adopted by someone like Madonna or Angelina Jolie only to pick one and walk away.

How could anyone live with the images of all the other children after making that decision?
