She's just collecting the latest celebrity trophy, an african child.

Didn't know that about Josephine Baker, interesting.

She adopted 12-15 kids, and I would guess people on this forum would consider her a tramp also.

[Tax-chick]

Josephine Baker adopted several children from various ethnic backgrounds. Called them "The Rainbow Tribe," iirc.

Whether the children were parentless before the adoptions, and how they turned out as adults, I don't know.

She adopted them, but I didn't get the sense she was "collecting" them.

Next up, an Asian baby so she can have an eclectic collection of pets.

Another "Mommy Dearest"

The orphanage director, the Rev Thompson Chipeta, told Mr Banda "a very nice Christian lady" wanted to offer David a home.

Ah, yes, the church of "I'm a skanky little attention whore"...

Madonna...you are a vile,worthless despicable excuse for a woman.Thanks to your breathtaking wealth and influence,you've procured the latest Hollywood accessory...a child from a third world country.

If you had *any* decency in you...if you had even a hint of a conscience....you would have sent perhaps $10,000 a year to his parents and,having done so,you would have helped him and the rest of his family far,far,*far* more than by doing what you did.

You're a walking yeast infection,lady.Or,as Imus' sidekick so appropriately muses....you've had more abortions than hit songs!

[Callahan]

These Hollywood types nab African babies like they're taking a Chihuaha home from the pound.

[tcrlaf]

Libs have been buying Negros for DECADES through gub'ment handouts..

This is just a natural progression. SURELY it has the approval of Jesse and the Race hustler's, right?

I'm a bit disturbed that the FATHER was all so happy to have this go through.

But then, perhaps being in what is truly a chauvinist country, it's not surprising.

[agooga]

I don't think much of Madonna either, and I question her motives, as well. But, the fact is, she's providing a better life than this child would ever hope to achieve in Africa.

And for that-- good for her and the child.

[Millee]

lol - good one!

[cowboyway]

And she has already got her eyes on a three-year-old girl from the same village as David

Is Madonna planning on starting a cotton plantation?

You know,I've done some traveling in East and Southern Africa.Life is very,*very* difficult there.

Among the difficulties there is hunger...*real* hunger.I've seen it up close and personal.As was the case during WWII when parents would send their kids to safety although they hated to do so,perhaps the father's motivation was "hey,in England my boy will eat regularly and not be subject to wars or disease".

Given what I've seen of Africa,I'm far more inclined to slam that worthless tramp than the kid's father.

[Cecily]

I guess it beats being sold to serve some rich Gulf Arab, which goes on all the time in Africa.

[Burkean]

Madonna has made a mockery of adoption laws, and is likely to face criminal charges in Britain:

Countries like Britain and Canada that have socialized medicine have very strict laws about international adoption because they don't want sick children brought into an already struggling health care system.

There are also issues of citizenship. Adopting a child internationally is NOT like going on a big African shopping spree that might lead to one bringing home the head of a tiger to hang on the den wall. Madonna may feel like she followed (or skirted) Malawi law, but she also has to deal with British law.

'David is just the best little baby ever'

Beg to differ.
