Congrads….

A black child with a potentially great future……

Who cares if she’s famous….Who cares if she’s white…Who cares if she’s Madonna….A child will have a home, health care, clothes, house and ALL the Maddona CD’s they desire. WHAT A LIFE!!!!

Who else is gonna do it? I don’t see Will and Jada trying to make a bright future for an those babies. I see no one else other than Oprah trying to make a difference.

I don’t like that phrase that she’s “purchasing an african baby,” like they having a clearance sale on children in Africa…..SMDH

purchases LMFAO

Hopefully that kid will have a better life!

@Hmmm: When was the last time you donated money to an African orphan? And buying an Akon CD doesnt count.

If she “buys” one more African baby for the sake of her Scientology cult sh_t, I’ma be mad.

Hmph.

Dont believe the smokescreen of…”the child will have a good life” BS.

She dont care about no damn African baby!

AT LEAST SOMEONE WANTS TO TAKE CARE OF OUR CHILDREN!! IM SICK OF PEOPLE HATING. HOW BOUT U TRY OUTDOING HER AND ADOPT DOUBLE THE AMOUNT, THEN HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY!!!!!!!

@ Kami All Day
Whats up with you on this beautiful friday?

I am all for adoption and providing children with LOVE above and beyond meeting the material needs.

I do often question why is is the “trend” to look outside of the United States when their are millions of children in foster care right here, right now?

Why go to Asia, Russia, and Africa when you can go to NC, SC, NYC, LA to adopt an American child in need?

Madonna is making a difference! Folks need to step up like she is or shut the f up.

@ BMW 540i- I feel for what your Aunt has been thru but hasn’t she heard all of the stories regarding White foster kids who have committed the EXACT same crimes against their foster parents?
So sad your aunt allowed her experiences to turn her into a self hater/racist instead of getting help to heal.

@ Silly Hoes with a name like that, there is no way you can be serious by telling someone to shut the f up? I notice you id not list your own activities as they relate to foster children, african or otherwise??

Whats wrong with celebs adopting African children? Good for her, she has enough money to take care of her kids and the adopted ones, why not.

She seems to be a very involved mother, so I applaud her bringing another child into her home. If the U.S. adoption process wasn’t so contrived, of which most do not seem to be aware she’d probably adopt domestically.

FYI, the U.S. foster and adoption system is full of Black children, many older too, so if any of the posters around here would like to give a child a home, there are plenty that need one.

Madonna Purchases Another African Baby

Wonder if the orphanage accepted her AMEX Black or if she had to pony up some Kwacha…

@BMWdriver540i. …… .Looking at the haters thru my rearview:

Mad that I have to be at work! lol

But other than that, its aight. My B-day is tomorrow so you already know, mentally, I am not even here!

You got any plans for the weekend?

She’s doing more than what some wealthy African Americans are doing. celebrity and non…

**C**

If your so concerned about African children, why don’t you adopt them.

As someone else mentioned, that is a terrible headline. People want to act as though she’s doing some great disservice to this child and her nonexistent/uninvolved family but the truth is this baby girl will have far more opportunities and love than if she was raised in an orphanage. Not sure how people don’t see that. Though I do wonder how this adoption was allowed to go through with all the hoopla the judge made before about her trying to circumvent their residency laws.

GOOD FOR HER, AND IF YOU NEGROES HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, START BY ADOPTING THE LITTLE BLACK CHILDREN WHO DESPERATELY NEED A HOME RIGHT HERE IN THE U.S. OF A.

WHAT THE F**K is going on???? “Madonna Purchases Another African Baby” Purchases? Are you serious. Somebody needs to be fired. Purchases a person? How the F**K does this work exactly? Why would someone think it’s okay to put a headline up like this? People are really senseless these days.

lest we forget…the times in which little black children were BOUGHT like cattle and given to the masters children, like toys – and the children where their masters! Remeber History!

@ Kami All Day
Spend time with fam I promised my 3yr daughter I’d take her to the park & maybe a little yard work keep that curb appeal tight. Happy Birthday in advance don’t party to hard

Dayum, Madge’s daughter reminds me of Pac!

*4 dinghy orphanage walls

omg you people are killing me, I swear. 303, you should have kept that comment I swear, that is just sick.

Every time I hear someone complaining about someone white adopting an African child it annoys me. Why wouldn’t you be happy for any child being adopted–unless you had some reason to believe the child is going into a detrimental situaution. And all to the one’s complaining, would you adopt a child? From Africa or wherever?

If people only adopted babies from European nation’s then people whould complain about that and say “Why won’t anyone adopt kids from Africa?” Get a life.

It’s disturbing how some white celebs are adopting thes African babies and black celebs aren”t adopting any? MMMM makes you wonder what’s up?

It’s disturbing how some white celebs are adopting thes African babies and black celebs aren”t adopting any? MMMM makes you wonder what’s up?
_____________
cause black celebs are way too selfish to anything for anyone else – they only think about themself thats all

Good for her, Lucky azz kid, is it too late for me to be adopted by Madg, or better yet Angelina Jolie, Yeah,, I want Angie to be my mommie, even though I may be a lil older than her,, she can still me my momma..

“PURCHASED” Y’all are dead wrong for that Heading…smh.

I hate articles like this, they sound so ignorant and foolish. Just because you’re white doesnt mean you should adopt a white child and just because you’re American doesn’t mean you’re obligated to adopt an American child.

Madonna can do whatever she wants.

@ 303 who said Black Celebs are selfish:

Please educate yourself and stop thinking that only white celebs help African or AA children. I provided you with a a list to get you started but if you would be more open and just research you would also realize that:

Patty Labelle- donates to Jr Diabetic Causes- providing nutrition services to needy children with diabetes

Denzel Washington- donated out of HIS POCKET to keep several Boys and Clubs open in impoverished neighborhoods.

Several NBA PLAYERS- host sports and academic camps for AA boys and Girls paying all the fees including lodging, food and CLOTHES and SHOES.

Spike Lee- provides scholarships to minority film students and hires them to work with his company

THE LIST IS LONG REGARDING BLACKS WHO HELP THEIR OWN

@the poster Marquis/Kigali can have this site , its too full of drippins for my liking.

Some ppl look at it as, we are all children of the earth, and we all belong to this planet, if you live here on earth, anywhere you go you are connected to the ppl.

Thank You, co-sign on that one

@ Moreaces- using your same argument of the view of we are all connected then why isn’t that same connection felt regarding the infants in the orphanage right down the street from Beverly Hills 90210?

Again I am all for adoption but if you can’t get home straight are you really in the best position to go jumping all up in other countries?

Moving on from this…..

What does Madonna need a show and tell for she is Madonna, she doesn’t have to work another day in her life and neither do her children, she wanted an African girl to go with her son David, so they can relate to each other, and people choose to adopt from foreign countries because they are in the need of the most help, some orphanges can’t even afford to feed all of those children, losers fall back until u have helped a child in need, those children will have the kind of life we never will.

___________________________________________________
@ Mia- there are plenty of orphanages/group homes right here in the USA that are in the EXACT same predicament so that argument is not valid. Prior to this career I worked in Social Services/Foster Care and hunger/starvation is going on right now in these homes. Don’t even kid your self- please don’t even think that.

i am ashamed of africa this incident
shows how easy africans can be bought

Isn’t that what everyone wants, to live the American dream. Kudo’s to Madonna for giving the kidd a better chance at life. Even if she can’t fulfill all of the needs of this child, the child will have a better start at life then most American kidds. Even if it’s for selfish reasons that she’s doing it, it will still benefit the child in the long run.

Didn’t the father originally say that he wanted his daughter to be raised within her country, amongst her people and know their traditions/customs. What happened?? Last I heard Hodonna threw a tantrum and tried to ‘boycott’ Africa….now, HOW did she get her hands on another African child!?! Does she think Africa is like the pound and she can point out what she wants!?! I agreed w/the father initially to keep the baby in her homeland. This is a disappointment!

To compare orphanages in America to Africa is no contest. In Africa poverty is abundant, in America poverty can be dealt with through proper agencies. In Africa food and medicine is scarce. The kidds own father thought that she was dead at birth. The kidd was being raissed by her grandmother. Just like in America, when the father found out that the kidd was being adopted, he immediatly cried foul, but yet wasn’t there for the first three years of her life.

Madonna Gets Mercy

Zak Brian, Sipa, / AP Photo, FILEMalawi has shown mercy on Madonna. Or at least, they’re preparing to give her Mercy–the 4-year-old Malawian orphan she’s been fighting to adopt since April. Though the Supreme Court initially blocked the adoption because she didn’t spend enough time in the country, Madonna has now won an appeal to officially adopt the child. Chief Justice Lovemore Munlo cited the star’s commitment to her charity, Raising Malawi, which helps disadvantaged children there. The Daily Mail reports: “Now Mercy will be flown on a private jet to be with Madonna and her children Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, and David, 3, in New York where she is expected to attend nursery school with David.”

Read it at Daily Mail

Damn madonna…why do you buy black babies straight from the motherland ? I guess you are like a pit bull owner you want them to be as pure as possible. But, what is your motivation, you trying to create or justify something. You can easily buy a baby in the states. I hope her motives are genuine.

@ 6 Figgas

Madonna Purchases Another African Baby

Wonder if the orphanage accepted her AMEX Black or if she had to pony up some Kwacha…
—————————–
You’re not right!
But you made me laugh out loud w/that one!!!

PAUSE

@ stylez…
And you ain’t intimidating anyone w/those ALL CAPS.
Maybe you need to calm down before allowing yourself to get so emotionally involved in the discussion!

Moving on!

There’s nothing wrong w/adopting…and from outside of your own backyard. It’s just that caucasion celebrities seem to be making it a ‘trend’…adopting children from ‘disadvantaged countries’! Coming from Madonna…who by the way is constantly touring & involved in numerous relationships…it just seems a bit fishy!

No offense, but there are a lot of babies in this country that would need a great home.

Adopting kids is a good thing no matter what race or age or gender, but there are lots of kids in the United States of America that need homes too!

its good that those babies going to be WELL taken care of!!

will & jada build scientology-inspired schools (i dont know how good that is) lol

Anyone here ever been to Africa and slept on the ground under a tin roof with holes in winter with one thin blanket? Walked over a mile for water to cook and drink with? I have a few times, and each was an eye-opening experience.

I’m not saying their lives are bad over there, because it’s THEIR lives, but if a child has NO parents (true orphan) and someone reaches out a hand to them, I say good for them. Let them have opportunities.

Adopting children that have living parents that have hit hard times, I don’t agree with. If you really want to help the child, sponsor the whole family to a better life so they can maintain their roots (Madonna has the funds to that for David and Mercy, but she chooses to separate them from family. If she really wanted the best for them, she would be merciful and help these kids why they stay in familiar surroundings with close and extended family.

i swear to god if i stay on this thread any longer i might kill some black people

You irrational, emotional, racist, dumb buts, are the very same reason why K K K was established in the first place…if i was white i would not want you in my neighborhood…but unfortunately you represent me because of the colour of your skin…what a shame that you think it is sound constructive criticism when you admit…oh by the way i am black…you should be shot..and let the rest of us live..without the fear of harrassment

just because i do not agree with you….or madonna’s adoption….i’m selfish because i won’t adopt
that is not even an argument, you are basing it off your emotions,its poignant, not a fact, how does that make what you say more resonable then me not agreeing with you
you people would be on the k k k march in the front row defending them, i bet, no doubt!

BUT you black folks are using her white skin to say your follow black neighbor

excuse the typo i meant to type “fellow”

@Investigate
Madonna is divorced and no one, to my knowledge, has discussed her parenting negatively. The fact is, these children were living in orphanages in desperately poor conditions with a very small chance to live well – until there is proof to the contrary, that has changed.

If you feel that you can offer African children or AA children a good home life because you have a perfect marriage, a character/personal life beyond reproach, and the emotional and financial ability to support them – which I assume you do as you are judging Madonna – then find some kids in need, care for them, and be an example of what you’d like to see in the world.

I’ll rest in peace if u withdrawal the world purchase ma brothaz.she’s doin something for us in Malawi.

@Kool Breeze

No, you can not “just as easily buy a baby in the States.” The process here is extremely long and intricate. They do ALL kinds of investigating and the like, and examine the parents’ lifestyle to determine what type of upbringing the adopted child will have. This is why you see so many people (celebrities and non-celebrities) go overseas to adopt children. It’s easier.

typos meant to type “child” and “enough”

@valley girl
black people are africans we may not live there any more but we are all from there, if madonna can by one from malawi how long will it be before someone thinks it is okay to buy any one of us but only white children get put in suitable placements and you wonder why they get treated better, because of the stupid way we lower our standards,amongst each other, its hard to view yourself in the mirror as a human when you act like 3/5 of a human being so its okay right

you f*ckers would be the dumb first one calling out racist
that child deserved the right for the adult to be assessed properly

you 3/5 of a human being for defending this trash lowlife

oh i’m sorry it is because she has money sorry if you thought i never got that point,monkeys,you would hang from any branch that throws you wood paper(cash)

talking to you is lowering my standards and most white people would ignore you also

there is more to being white than skin, they repect intelligence first and foremost, sorry but defending madonna OR BLEACHING won’t make it into their circle,you probably get laughed at behind your back,and the sad thing is you won’t realize it

@AWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAP!!!!

GTFOH,are you an orphan, can you speak about that if you can then you should reason with your self about your morals

YOU FREAKING CREATURES

have the nerve to talk about africa is poor and underprivileged, try visiting the dam county before you talk about it

a lot of blacks have done nothing else but sweat, and bleed to save africans adults as well as children and i also had been aprt of a movement to save many, many are dealing with problems,so i know from experince what madonna did IS NOT HELPING AFRICA TO REBUILD, and you give all their hard work to madonna

OH YES YOU DID NOT KNOW, AFRICA IS REBUILDING AND IT TAKES A LOT OF HARD WORK BUT IT IS GETTING THERE

jerks

I hear a lot of people whining about a white person adopting a black child. In the United States, more black children are in foster care then white. And when a white couple adopt a black child…you have black people screaming “Black children should be with their own kind!” Yet “most” of you motherf*ckers won’t adopt any children. SMH with disappointment!!

@ INVESTIGATE
We are of African descent, we are not “Africans” there is a difference. You are correct, though, we are all descended from Africa, including Madonna.

Further, I did not state Madonna was better than any person. In fact, I did not judge Madonna at all – that was all you – I stated that, barring any proof of her being a bad parent, what she offers those children is better than a parent less life in an orphanage.

I did offer a challenge, though:
If you feel that you can offer African children or AA children a good home life because you have a perfect marriage, a character/personal life beyond reproach, and the emotional and financial ability to support them – which I assume you do as you are judging Madonna – then find some kids in need, care for them, and be an example of what you’d like to see in the world.

Rock on Madonna!!! By adopting these kids she is tapping into her “morally” obligation of her name!!!
BTW, Madonna would U like to contribute to my college fund??? I could be your children personal Psychologist.

The first child that Madonna adopted is happy and healthy and so there is every reason to believe that this child will also have a good life

Madonna does have questionable morals but she appears to love these children

She has gone out of her way to adopt these children so she has no excuse not to ensure that they have a proper upbringing

Also a lot of Americans have a lot of children in poverty also and it would be better if these children were actually put up for adoption instead of throwing them out of a moving car or in the trash can

none of these celebrities can adopt a child in the United States because if the authroities were to look at their home lives, histories, lifestyle choices, they would probably refuse their requests to become adoptive parents. It’s much easier to go abroad where this is not taken in to as much consideration as it is in the United States or United Kingdom.
At least I hope she hires a black nanny – let someone please be skilled enough to cornrow that little girls hair once she gets to her new mansion and not be like poor poor little Zahara… i just wanna get a comb and treat her hair with the love and attention the way afro hair deserves to be treated with…. you can’t just try and throw in to a bunch and hope the sides reach

Whatever I am so sure that the child would have a better life in the African orphanage. That kid won the lottery by having Madonna adopt her.

@ valley girl
@rachel

i’ll pray for you lost child

you got insulted at the hint i gave you coming from a poor background you defended your mother as i expected,in your rag you acted more human than at any other time, what do you think the family of these children think also they have every right to defend their children to stay put,just like your own mother she never adopted you,she got help and you are better of for it
that is my point you are angry but you got it

madonna ripped a child from his/her family
how is that help or love that is a pure example of a selfish celebrity
and you defend her because she is white no other reason
we all can see madonna is coocoo in the head how can she raise anybody proper VALLEY GIRL
no one would do such an illegal act of buying a kid unless their peadophiles
most people would give their money and leave the dam country to be,with their kids,good example of this, OPRAH WINFREY
she is using our crisis to benefit her sick depravities and you all jump to her defense because the kid is black what has that got to do with helping any one but her self
yall mix in the head coocoo like madonna

this is a legal abduction
i will never agree to it
no matter what all of you say because the proof is obvious and staring us all in the face

@rachel

the only reason you donot respond to people like me because you make it so obvious that you are dumb

money is owned by the devil madonna is a satanist giving her money to malawi only helps the country be run be devils

barter is the currency of majority o f african nations just because they are not on the stock market like cattle doe not mean they would be better off with the devils money

i know a country they refused to accept money as their currency they use bartering and their country is one of the riches of the african decendants and their is no voilence, no starvation, just peace and tranquilty

money is the root of all evil

my mother my dad died i am an orphan by the way

“Money” rather than “monry”

People need to wake up and open their eyes to what the industry is doing. It is not coincidence that wppl are “adopting” african babies; the reason being that the child is their pass into Africa. Wppl put propaganda on TV about africa being impovershed, barren, savage, etc. when it is the exact opposite. Thruout history and even now, they need to feel accepted by us; and once established, they can sink their parasidic claws into our beautiful energy. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!! they r slowly (for centuries now) taking over the world and if we let them take africa, we can call it a wrap. if africa is so bad, why are they recruting celebs to set up shop there, or moving there by the drones? its common sense and instead of soaking up all this info, whether gossip or fact, open ur eyes at all times and my people start realizing ur wealth. a black man is present for a reason; timing is everything, so utilize ur energies and lets get our world back. blacks didnt only come from africa, we own this world and they know it. its time for us to know it too.

Ok. As a whole lot of people are stating that they dont see anyone stepping up to adopt Kids. Yes its true that she has the money to go abroad and adopt kids from africa but I am seriously tired of seeing these white celbrity adopting these black kids when they do not know how to take care of them. Angelina Jolie adopted a black child and all the money that her and brad has that child looks like a bum and her hair is never done… I bet if you look at a magazine right now her hair is going to look like who done it. Most white people that adopt anyways go to like china or other places you hardly ever see them adopting black kids. I wish that a famous black person would adopt a white child and I can almost guaratee that it will be contraversial. Im not hating but why go outside the US when there is alot of beautiful healthy kids in america that needs to be adopted and wants a loving family

I love how Investigate is bringing up some totally irrational points, and claiming people are speaking of things they don’t know about yet he/she is doing exactly that. You have no right to question Madonna as a person or a parent because, simply put, you don’t know Madonna. You base your arguments about what you’ve seen her do in her career, which is clearly for entertainment as she is just that, an entertainer. For the record, Madonna has been funding orphanages and donating money to Malawi for quite some time now. As for Angelina Jolie, she has been doing the same, and has also been working as a goodwill ambassador for a long time. They have been there trying to help the people of Africa. I mean lets be serious, out of all the celebrities, Madonna and Angelina are probably some of the LAST people who would need any more publicity, as they get it all the time for every little thing they do. Also, since Madonna has been donating money directly TO orphanages, I’m pretty sure it HAS and will continue to help those children.

At least she is doing something good for a disadvantaged child which cant be said about most black Americans. God bless Africa

@eden
read about the turmoil in those countries first before you talk

africa’s debt is causing starvation which is held by europeans and it is held by companies(usually one man, under a company name and as soon as money is to be made the decend onto the country to get money not helping but to exploit,do not be fooled,investigate the company that is dealing with any african country) shifting from hand to hand and the debt only accelerates,for the greed of what that individual wants,even knowing the poor country can not pay it, which has nothing to do with how the economic country is run,they do not care that paying debts will result in starvation, orphanes, lack of medical care. Unlike some of you i already found out about this

it is stock market devils that has caused the debts selling debts increases the amount and any body with money will exploit africa

madonna and angelina money together could wipe out the entire african’s debt right acroos the continent
and put displaced orphans back with families where they belong(home) and wipe out the need for hand outs and exploitaion
but as long as their is a need for money it is okay to be exploited
why don’t you put things into context,it is what it is,point blank,it has nothing to do with color,i dislike mugabe regime also,i waited to see if he was a thinking man, be he is clearly mad, because he is black no one would care to defend him, madonna is lucky she is white, huh,because you all live in a bubble when it comes to facts staring you in the face
and we wonder why whites tell us to go home we have no clue what facts is
eden you are a joke
if you call this,taking their children help,i beg to differ,these children was put in that orphange with the lie that their parents are dead because they could not afford to take care of the child,madonna swooped in a took a child which was already loved and cared for both children are now gone not every child in an orphange is and orphan just displaced because of lack of wealth and if the child and madonna was assesed they would have given her a child with no family that would be fair, if you had said something like that i would agree with you,and not answered you

I don’t see too many rich African Americans doing that.
