Madonna has reportedly added another member to her brood and adopted a one-year-old boy from the impoverished African country of Malawi.
The mother of two chose the boy from a group of 12 children that were specially chosen from four orphanages prior to her arrival. And you thought getting into Hyde was difficult!
A Malawian government official said Madonna had wanted a girl but changed her mind two weeks ago. Princess Lourdes can rest easy.
Her Madgesty has pledged $3 million to fund the Raising Malawi center which will support programs for 1000 orphans, many who have lost their parents to AIDS. Madonna will also fund another $1 million for a documentary about the plight of the nation's children.
As of yet, there is no word on the baby's name.
But now Madge's camp is saying the adoption has not taken place.
Her publicist, Liz Rosenberg, told Us Weekly "I can confirm Madonna is in Malawi on a private visit. She is building an orphanage and child care center and is involved in other initiatives geared toward helping children orphaned by AIDS thru the Raising Malawi organization. She has not adopted a baby despite reports that she has."

Well, she is helping out needy children, period. If it were not for MAdonna, this child would be in a third world country without education or good nutrition. So, there.
MAdonna is doing a good thing!!!
Angelina adopted Mad and Z from her heart. If Madonna really wanted to adopt a child because she wanted one she wouldn't chosen the little boy from 12 other hand picked children like some slave owner getting prime stock.
Madonna is no Angelina. As if screwing up her own kids weren't bad enough now she's spreading it to a child that really did need a loving home. I don't care who you are, having money doesn't automatically make you a good parent or the child better off.

Madonna wow what a perfectly fit mother, shes such a good role model for her children.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
Ana is so right about publicity.
These celebrities could match ideas and money and help thousands of kids; not just one.
Madonna is so desperate to stay relevant. Plus, she looks so weathered it is becoming difficult to photo-enhance her pictures. I'm so happy she stays in England. I wish THAT would become the new celebrity trend!
Deep down I think it is for publicity..Yes it is true , There is a lot of people in very bad shape..So if your able , like most of the chosen ones, give your money one,two three million whatever ,chump change...you wont miss it, and you know its a write off..But it's so "In Vogue" to have a baby,if your a star, even though she won't get the chance to show off her "Baby Bump" she can still parade the child around, maybe even get a million or so for a picture..What a joke....These people have a lot of nerve, they don't deserve children, they will have the hired help raise the child, and spoil it rotten..Just what we need, more people full of themselfs .
Madonna picks a child out of a group of hand picked orphans? Sounds very 1800's to me!
I too am EXTREMELY bothered by the fact this child was hand picked by a 'specially chosen' group of 12 corralled from 4 different orphanages. Angelina adopted Zahara without knowing 100% if Zahara was AIDS/HIV-free. She said it did not matter; that she would deal with it and care for her and it would not effect adopting her. I just find it repugnant that Madonna had these poor kids put in a line-up and chose her favorite that met her criteria.
And to those saying why couldn't she adopt from America....have you forgotten she lives in the UK now and has no desire to reside in the US again? Why would she bother with an American orphan?
This is BS - She DID NOT ADOPT A CHILD. She is there building a child care center for children with aids and DID NOT ADOPT A CHILD. Good God, what is it with people jumping to conclusions and RUMORS.
I REPEAT. ITS A RUMOR ------ MADONNA DID NOT ADOPT A CHILD.
Apparently Madonna needed an addition to her staff - someone to loofah her stretch marks, perhaps?
And Gee - who the hell are you and how do YOU know she didn't adopt a child? Are you her once-loofah hag now scorned and out of a job?
By the way, apparently CNN and MSNBC thinks she adopted a child because THEY have it as a top story -and I DON'T think they deal in rumors!
Okay dumb ass ManBearPigHunter or should I say Ass hole for short - If you would get your ugly ass on other web sites but this one, you would have already read it butt face. Try Perez Hilton.com shit face.
not only did she adopt a child....she is funding centers for those children orphaned by AIDS......
do some research people, get a life! Madonna is one of the 'good' ones!
she cares about the world, not what she's wearing at HYDE tonight!
Oh like CNN & MSNBC has never been wrong you stupid F you. If you ever notice they are the LAST to know anything, apparently like you, you asshole!!!!
Hey ManBearPig - I got some ocean front property in Oklahoma for sale - you interested???????
