Personally I think she has lost the plot, and seems to think that money can get you anything, if she wanted to help him why not help his whole family.

Think she's be better spending some of her money helping the whole Malawi village/funding and staffing the orphanage and school/organising scholarships for the bright kids to spend some time over here when they're older etc etc etc

Re: Madonna what do you think?


ive seen her driving up the road, she uses a fleet of limos, and my god shes not much to write home about, she looked like a grupy old lady in her car. mind u her youngest daughter has a lovely smile.
and as for this adoption, the poor child, if she wants to do good for him why dont she build a new building and sponser all the kids instead of just 1.

Re: Madonna what do you think?


Agree completely with EmmaG & DM ! Our paper today quoted the father as saying he hadn't really intended giving up his child; he just wanted some help. The child will have all sorts of material advantages with Madonna, but wonder what sort of a life it would be to grow up in the atmosphere surrounding a pop superstar? Not very normal, I think. Oh well, publicity ......

Re: Madonna what do you think?


Wonder if we have the whole story? however now its been reported that her bodyguard has flown from Maalwi witht he little boy in a private jet.
Surely no one who ever it is can just take a child from a country? here you have to be assessed by Social services and passed for adoption don;t you before you can consider adopting from abroad? or am I wrong?

I agree doing something like sponsoring an orphange/school quietly without fuss or publicity. But there again there is no such thing as bad publicity is there?

Re: Madonna what do you think?


I think her money would be better spent adopting a child in this country!
