I am actually happy that she adopted David. I feel really sorry that his mother died and that his father is poor but at least Madonna came along and gave him a home. He is really lucky he has another person that can take care of him when no one could. I just wish his mother was still alive so that she watch how his son is doing.

Something about this seems bittersweet to me.

I hope she gets the little girl. As black people we should be supportive you know how hard it is for black kids to get adopted? I am not talking about mix kids there get adopted asap. Anyways my point is i am so happy when people are adopting black kids and those who get a home are better then being left in an orphanage. I myself was adopted i am so glad that maybe china will not be the top adoption place but Haiti my home country or any countries in africa. We need love and feel like were wanted. I have no idea why people adopt from china and that country is not poor.

I believe the only reason this little meet and greet was set up was for Madonna to smooth the path to adopt Mercy (which has been cleared). She would have let David call that man anything to ensure that she would be allowed to adopt the other child.

1.)I was a bit judgmental in my first post so I guess I should try to see both sides and give Madonna the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she just couldn’t put it off any longer. We don’t know the condition of this man or his health. Perhaps Madonna feels like David may never get the chance to meet his birthfather ever again in life. TRUE. People are here today, gone tomorrow. Maybe documenting the event with a photo is the only way David will remember the moment since he is such a young boy right now. IDK.

2.)Globe-trotting Brad and Angie have 6 kids and they do their OWN co-parenting. Major respect to the two of them for juggling high profile acting careers and their ethnically and culturally diverse bambinos are always in the care of one parent or the other! Correct me if I’m wrong but I never seen a nanny. There is nothing wrong with having a nanny because us “regular” people have babysitters but when it comes down to it, its all about who is spending the most time with the child.

3.)Even still, I am continually baffled by the need to ONLY go overseas to adopt a less fortunate child. The amount of children in the United States currently living in poverty is heart wrenching. Not every child in our country has healthcare, parents, clothing, or an adequate education to build upon. I am firm believer in starting in one’s backyard before fixing another’s. I have soo many thoughts about international adoption–can’t you tell?

I agree you don’t see pictures of Angelina going to actually adopt her children because you know why? She is actually heartfelt and actually wants to adopt and raise those kids not like Madonna who is doing it for the press. Why did they have to be there for that meeting? She obviously invited them. You don’t see T/M/Z cameramen flying to freaking Malawi. I mean when do you ever see her with that boy? I always see him with nannies. Sure he has a better life with her but that’s not right adopting African babies because it’s “in”. Like Madonna? Are you serious? Adopting babies? That’s why I get angry when people criticize Brad and Angie. They are ALWAYS with their children and you can tell they are loved. Race is irrelevant that’s not what it’s about. Those babies do not know race they know love. And we are all like that until we grow up and see how cruel this world is.

I choose not to be judgmental… he is not MY son.. he is Madonna’s. consider the fact that she doesn’t travel to his country that often and what if the chance for him to ever meet face to face with his biological father is forever taken away. he may not be old enough to get it now.. but there are pictures. it is documented. hope all is well when he gets old enough.

I’m tired of everyone saying black babies are not accessories. Clearly only the people saying this believe that. Why are mad at madonna for doing what so many of us don’t do for our own people. Would it matter if I was a poor white person that adopted him would it be an issue. If I had the resources to adopt I would regardless of race because I know several children from different countries who were adopted and are healthy and happy. Many of don’t care about an issue until it involves a celebrity and it’s only to criticize. Madonna and any other celebrity is not only what they do or what the own they are people too
