The fact of the matter is, this child will be better off a spoiled Hollywood brat than starving in some African village, no matter what you think of Madonna. He will have opportunities that he would never have had in Malawi. No one critizing people who adopt from China or Russia, I don't see why African adoptions are being criticized here, calling an innocent child a "mud hut" baby.

I'd rather stay in Malawi.

One of the saddest parts of this story is that there are still kids being born in mud huts.

I hate the UN with every fiber of my being. Worthless pukes.

Where can I get one of those cute, little "Ethernopians?"

Madonna adopts mud hut baby
Well,you know, it's so "chic" to own one these days.

You can take the baby out of the Mud Hut, but can you take the...

Madonna and Ritchie recently admitted having had marital problems and insiders have speculated that an addition to the family will give their rocky relationship a fresh start.

Where the heck does this kind of thinking come from?

"We're completely screwed up. Let's bring a helpless child into our marriage! That'll fix it!"

God help this kid.

I wouldn't be surprised if this one gets "unadopted" one of these days.

The story changes a bit in this article, Poverty-stricken father of the baby Madonna is adopting tells his story".

In it, it says "Yohane had never heard of Madonna, or her raunchy songs. He was told only that she was 'a very nice Christian lady'. It was never explained that Madonna is in fact deeply involved with the Kabbalah sect."

The facts of these types of stories change from day to day. However, I hope that Madonna did not intentionally deceive the father. Apparently, he's never heard of her, and is not familiar with her music or image or religion.

The father also seems swept up in the whirlwind of this quickie adoption of his 13-month-old son, who has been in an orphanage since his wife died. I wonder if he will regret his decision.
