I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if after Madonna milks this for all the publicity she can, the kid is quietly returned to his father.

What is your opinion on this? There are so many conflicting reports that it is hard to tell what is the actual case.

[Old Lady]

My feelings are, who cares? The child was in desperate need and in an orphanage, and someone wants to adopt him. I personally don't like Madonna, but if she wants to adopt this child, more power to her.

Why not adopt the entire family and let him live in comfort with them? She can afford it.

Can anyone explain to me why a parent puts a kid of theirs in an orphanage ?

I understand that he needed a wet nurse at first but then after that take care of your kids.

I guess my question goes beyond this particular story. Why do Dads/Moms do this ?

I've seen it done and I just can't get my head around it.

The adoption process began earlier this year when the Malawian government drew up a shortlist of 12 one-year-old boys for Madonna to choose from. David was not one of them.

Rock Stars...They never order from the menu.

Madonna's weirdness aside, she named her American-born children Lordus (sp?) and Rocco and names this kid from Africa, David.

Yeah, this is a woman with her head on right.
