OMG, Madonna.
I know you just went through a divorce. Divorce is really hard. And it is reasonable to rebound with a younger man. It is reasonable to rebound with a younger woman. It is not reasonable to rebound with a toddler.
As Wendie reported earlier, it appears Madonna is moving forward with another Malawi adoption, this time a four-year-old girl named Mercy.
A Malawi court has scheduled a hearing for Monday to take up the Material Mama’s petition to add an orphaned girl to the brood.
The hearing was announced a day after officials in the African nation confirmed the 50-year-old entertainer was seeking a second adoption.
Also on Friday, the identity of the 4-year-old girl was confirmed.
“Her name is Mercy James from Mchinji Home of Hope orphanage. She has no father and mother—they both died. We finished the assessment yesterday in readiness for the courts next week,” a spokesman for the Ministry of Gender and Child Development told Reuters. …
The “Causing a Commotion” singer is expected to arrive in Malawi with David sometime over the weekend and will reportedly take the boy to meet his biological father, Yohane Banda, while they’re visiting.
So, I mean, whatever, there are worse things in the world than adopting an orphan from Africa when you obviously have the financial means to care for her. But is anyone else a little worried that Madonna is getting a new child to fill the hole in her heart left when her marriage failed? Oh well. I suppose this little girl is going to have a much better life now regardless of Madonna’s motives, and so we’ll look at it as a blessing and move on. Good luck with this, Madge.
You know, I’m all for adoption. Really and truly. But why is she essentially buying a child from overseas? What, did the US run out of troubled children?
Children are the new accessory. End of story. All this adopting-children-from-underdeveloped-nations is such a fad, no matter how much they “wanted” to adopt a child from there. Ridiculous.
Forn it Some Fornus totally nailed!
She really needs to get her priorities straight. Look after the kids you got and leave the adopting to people who can’t just “buy” a child…. Makes me wonder why it’s so diguistingly easy for these celebs to get kids as if they’re merely supermarket shopping, and ordinary people have to go through miles of red tape before anything happens.
Octo-Madge the Toxic Vadge.
Good on the child for being selected for adoption by such a well-off woman, but come on, Madge. Your reputation didn’t take TOO hard of a hit after the split. You don’t need to do damage control by playing the Patron Saint. Again.
Octo- Madge the toxic Vadge, that’s brilliant!
Of course that baby’s name is Mercy!
I have a feeling that Madonna is like the Joan Crawford of today. You know, Mommy Dearest “no wire hangers!!” kinda gal. I hope these kids are safe in her care.
Of course they are fine. They are surrounded by dozens of nannies, body guards and spend very little time socializing with other children. Perfectly normal…
I have nothing against adoption, but I have a problem with Madonna using David as a fashion accessory. I thought it was cruel that she took him to see his dad who is obviously living in harsh conditions only to let him spend 3 hours with him! I think its completely disrespectful (it was as if she was just showing him off). I hope David’s dad fights back for custody, he would be better off with him rather than with Madge. I already feel bad for that next kid she is going to adopt.
what is “a better life”? more food and clean water but what about psychological damage? if you grow up lacking sufficient amounts of food water and shelter are you aware that you are lacking? as opposed to growing up the child of a crazy woman whose lifestyle will (no matter how great a mother she may be) TOTALLY FUCK YOU UP… ??? which is better?
everyone i know that knows her says shes a very good person. and shes not crazy, im crazy and i wouldnt have it any other way, go maddonnaaaa
exactly how many people do you know who know madonna? somehow i am doubting this.
Mercy has a grandmother, who says Madonna is stealing her grandchild and she’s fighting for her with a lawyer. The child was promised to her when she turned seven.. wonder how Madonna feels or knows about that little problem?
