Madonna’s adoption to be judged

Malawi’s head of child welfare services is set to visit Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie next month to determine whether or not they can formally adopt the African toddler Madonna brought here nine months ago. The head of child welfare services will stay with Madonna at her house for up to five days as part of a “home study”, and he says:

“We are worried that the level of public interest might be bad for David. In the normal situation children don’t have cameras in their face. We are not just looking at the positives of being adopted, one of the aspects of an assessment is looking at the negatives.”

There’s no way Madonna is losing this kid. She built a $4 million orphanage in Malawi so the government would let her bypass their adoption laws and speed up the process. The head of child welfare services could go to Madonna’s house and see that she keeps him under the leg of a table to keep it from wobbling and he’d give her two thumbs up and a big smile. She’d probably even get some sort of parenting award from the Malawi government.

    Wow. I hope that’s a bad picture because that kid used to be a-fucking-dorable. Maybe it’s just a look of disgust. If madonna were my mother, I’d probably have that expression too.

    Can you imagine how weird it will be when this kid has grown up, and he goes to visit his old, white, crazy, wanna-be-English “mother”? It’s going to look like Yaphet Kotto sitting in the parlour with fucking Norma Desmond. The only things needed to complete the picture will be a monkey and Erich von Stroheim’s reanimated corpse.

    Very weird. There’s not much of a resemblance to the dad, who’s a pretty good looking dude. The most noticeable thing is that their face shapes are completely different. Maybe David was an adultery baby? That’d explain why the dad offloaded him to The Menopausal Virgin Mary. And then knocked up and married a new chick (of course, David’s mom died giving birth to him, so what’s a nigga gonna do?). He’s sort of the KFed of Malawi.

    #25 – that would have been humorous, except for the fact that Madonna is LIVING IN ENGLAND, which explains the comments about her FUCKED UP ACCENT. Briton met Brooklyn.

    How is it worse to be Madonna’s child — other than the fact that she is an over-glamorized, ugly whore who wishes she were British — than it is to be an orphan in Malawi?

    I don’t even know where Malawi is, honestly, but I’m sure it is awful.

    She did not bypass any laws! She started the adoption process BEFORE the orphanage was complete. People act like she built an orphange just so she could go pick up kids at a drive-thru.

    There are plenty of valid reason to hate Madonna, no reason to make some up or rehash rumors that were proven false

    i’m sure moving the kid around from home to home is real good for him too. oh and giving him a taste of the good life and then throwing him back in Malawi is supposed to be a better choice? smart. these people are morons.

    Who does Malawi think it is? I could see them making those demands of me, but I don’t have millions of dollars, nor am I famous.

    That being said, I doubt Malawi could pull that shit on Angelina….

    And that being said, I don’t see Malawi putting that much effort in the welfare of the rest of the children over there.

    Kelli – Americans are just jealous of British accents and preZumably you fall in that category too you silly envious creature. I’ve never heard anyone say to an American “I love your accent” I’ve had it said to me about 200 times, pretty much 1/4 Americans I meet say it, its boring.

    I’m sick of celebs adopting kids like they’re the new hot accessory and then leaving the nannies to raise them (Heidi Klum, Madonna, etc.) Only Angelina & Brad seem to be spending any quality time with their kids.

    Looook, I feel bad for the kid, but I hope the Malawian gov’t rips him out of her filthy mitts. Serves her right for treating poor African children like the latest Hermes bag that just came out. Her and that cooze-bag Angelina. A Leo and a Gemini, two self-serving, selfish, cunty signs.

    You can’t BUY people, people.

    And don’t give me that crap about giving him a better life. Remember Elian from Cuba? I was glad he got returned to his dad. These kids were not orphans, they still had parents who CARED about them. So fuck all of y’all who are gonna start ripping me a new one for my views. (Shoot!)
