Look at that sweet baby. It’s easy to see why Madonna would want adopt her. I just feel so badly for that little girl. Living in an orphanage can not be good; every child wants to have a family that they live with and are part of every day. Madonna is deeply invested in Malawi through her charity Raising Malawi, so there’s no way Mercy, or David, will lose touch with their kin or their roots. All that should be taken into consideration.

If any child is in an orphanage that means the parents are poor and cannot take care of their children.I was adopted from Haiti from an orphanage that meant my mother was poor and could not prove for me. So who cares if the grandma wants the little girl that child would die if she was not in the orphanage.

I agree with everything Monique and Mixtrymama said.

For everyone who says that Madonna should just follow the rules, I have a question: Would you want to live in Malawi?

Rules are rules, but come on!

tight2def, since I do not personally know Madonna, I have no idea what her plans are for letting her keep intouch with her biofamily. Nor do I have personal knowledge of how much time Madonna has spent with the child. I seriously doubt anyone posting on here does. I just hopes whatever happens, it is what is best for this little girl.

Of course she wants that particular child, that’s the one she’s already bonded with and loves. If she did regard the child as a handbag, like so many on here ignorantly assume, then she would have no problem picking up and moving on to the next.

if madonna wanted the baby she should FOLLOW THE RULES period. she knew the rules when she adopted david but she thought she could waltz into the country and do the samething again when she is ready. its like she is buying a car. i dont feel bad for her on bit. she new the rules when going she had 18 months to get it together but she was too busy on tour and getting a divorce.

They need to just give her the child, period. Anyone that’s saying they’re doing this for media attention needs to focus on the bigger picture. All stars have amazingly huge egos and guess who gave it to them? WE DID. So, let’s stop acting surprised when they do things for attention. It doesn’t matter if that was a motive, the fact is they are committing to a child in need for a LIFETIME. Point, blank, period. You can call it “trendy” or “attention-getting,” but it’s still helping provide an otherwise statistical child have a better life. We are all driven by some self-need, but that should not overshadow the good deeds she is doing overall. What have YOU done to help someone in need lately or ever? Giving her the child is my stance. And @ Tess, Madonna plans on letting her adoptive children keep in touch with their biological family.

There are more important things in a child’s life than money, it’s who is the best person to take care of this child so she doesn’t loose her identity and heritage. Maybe, Madonna should set her up in a house with her Grandmother and money for a good school, if she wants to help. I can say this from experience, my son’s father walked out years ago and now he is talking with his biofather. There’s so much he wants to know about his Dad and his Aunts and Uncles. Even though he’s had a greatly life and a father figure in his life. I see things I should have done differently myself now also, like keeping in touch with his paternal grandparents and family. Children are not collectibles.

How many publicity stunts will this woman pull at Mercy’s expense? I do believe that she really wants Mercy but she is going about this the wrong way. Running to the media every 4 seconds to make yourself look good is not going to make her your child. Throwing money at the country and not following the rules won’t either. She knows what she has to do yet she refuses to do it.

Money can’t buy you everything and fame can’t get you everything you want.
