31. by Confused,

Apparently Angelina followed the rules. Madonna made her own.

32. Well, I personally don't think it's horrible that she's adopting this boy. I actually think it's a good thing, maybe the father understood the ramifications of his actions maybe he didn't. Either way he should be happy his boy is going to a good home, getting a first rate education and way more advatages than most American kids. I figure there are so many unwanted, poor, or abused kids in ALL countries that if someone wants to help them out more power to them. If she has an agreement to take the boy back to visit his Father then great, I don't see what the big issue is.

33. I was adopted from Korea by two very loving parents...they adopted me in Korea because my dad was stationed in Okinawa at the time...I for one am very glad they did not adopt a child from America because I would not have had the chance to be with this loving family...who gives a f*** why or where Madonna adopted this little boy, what matters is now he is going to have a chance at a better life..why don't some of you that are ragging on Madonna shut up and go give a child a chance at life...oops by the way some of you sound they probably wouldn't give you children...

34. everyone is caught on this idea of madonna making her own rules. it hasnt been proven that she has why does it shock people that a rich person could circumvent a system. hello people? it happens all the time. in this country rich people are paying young women for their eggs and they selective at that going to the ivy league colleges and asking for candidates with high SAT scores. knock it off with the self-righteousness.

36. HLM 10-The reason most Americans turn to overseas adoptions is for one reason: The adoption allow couples to get a child in half the time it takes to adopt here in the USA. I have friends who were on a waiting list and were told to expect a 3-5 year wait. Once they applied for an overseas adoption they had their baby within 8 months...quite a difference. It also cost them half of what the adoption agencies cost in this country. Obviously Madonna did not adopt overseas to save money but being accustomed to getting what she wants when she wants it, overseas adoption provided that for her. She should have chose a child who has no parents. So many children there have lost parents to AIDS. Surely she could have taken a child or two who was truly an orphan and not select one whose father is alive and unsure of what he wants to do.

37. TMZ READERS NEED TO STOP HATING! I THINK THIS CHILD IS VERY FORTUNATE THAT MADONNA HAS ADOPTED HIM...IT VERY EASY FOR YOU PEOPLE TO JUDGE, BUT LOOK AT YOUR PATHETIC LIVES... WHAT HAVE YOU EVER DONE? IT'S TIME FOR PEOPLE TO STOP STICKING THEIR NOSES WHERE THEY DON'T BELONG.

40. Honestly, I wish people could concentrate more on adopting a kid than someones life style. It's sad.
Oh !! BTW who cares about the race, just any kid will have a better future when it comes to adoption.
God Bless.

41. Yes, how wonderful of Madonna to take a child away from his loving dad instead of maybe GIVING THEM SOME HELP! She wants everyone's tax money to pay for social programs for poor people but when it comes to her own pocket, she's not giving any money unless she's getting something back. Unfortunately, this time it's another child for her to ignore while she goes on tour. What a lucky kid!!

42. #17 yo momma .................."Orka's questions?" Who's that -- Oprah? I heard a clip of Madonna talking from the show this morning, and I hear what people are complaining about ...... her fake british accent. But she's one big fake so why not a fake accent to go along with everything else.

43. Madonna, why not save the whole family or village? We've all seen the commercials, “with 30 cents a day you can feed an African child”. Imagine that $10 a month could feed an entire family. Now explain to me why Madonna couldn’t provide the means so this father could feed, clothe, and educate ALL his children.
I won’t pretend to understand the circumstances that would make a parent leave their child in an orphanage; I think it must be as heartbreaking in Africa as it is in North America.
I’m all for adoption of the seemingly unwanted children in the foster care system, or children that are “real orphans”, both parents are deceased and relatives are unable or chose not to care for them.

Madonna has been one of the most self-absorbed celebrities of the last 20 years, I have never witnessed anything real from her, so I’ve never found her antics admirable. I am more than a little bothered that this spoiled-publicity-loving-disrespectful woman has found a new way to grab the spotlight. Suddenly “Ms.it’s all about me” has a big heart.
There is no doubt that this little boy will have what all children should, he will be well fed, educated, clothed, and love; hopefully as equally as her other children.

Madonna is one of the wealthiest women in the world, how ignorant is she to not have considered “SAVING THE ENTIRE FAMILY OR VILLAGE”. How much would it have cost her? Why take a child from his parent and siblings?
Madonna, you and so many don't seem to realize that Africans, Refugees, displaced peoples love their children too. They just need some help.

He’s not a puppy you “connected with” at the kennel. He's an innocent little boy with "connections of his own.

44. Something I was just thinking of, why are all of these celbs adopting babies or very young children? There are so many older kids who would just die for a loving home, it seems to me that the majority of the older kids are just forgotten about. I'm absolutely sure a 7 or 10 year old kid would be thrilled to go to a loving home & not be shuffled around to a million foster homes or be stuck in a orphange. I personally grew up in foster care & it sucked. I wish people would take in the older kids not just babies or small kids, all kids deserve a loving home.

45.
Publicity stunt from the head media whore of the world. Isn't she the same one who once said, If you can do anything right, do it wrong in front of the camera.

This country is too fond of hailing and making famous this woman based on her naughty and scandalous behavior. (Umm Hilton ring a bell)

Boohoo, ENOUGH!

Now that the world is on to her B.S. She figured she'd channel Angelina by adopting a African child to divert attention from the bashing the Vatican and several religious organization hit her with. NOW, She is channeling the head bitch queen OPRAH (.Oprah pushing her weight on a closed Hermes' Paris store sound familiar???) OPIE said she was not mad, but proclaimed on her own show in June; "Shame on you Hermes!!! Shame, Shame, Shame" Hmmm, sounds like she was mad. The worst part was Opie pulling the cheap-shot race card out as well. (Heck, she had to ground her argument and the race card was the only way).

Where are the positive examples in this world that do good from the heart and not just because they are looking ratings or to make a run for the presidency. These phonies are getting ridiculous, and this bitch has got to go!
