Do you have the link?

As an African American I am stunned and a appalled that this arrogant woman has the nerve to think that she can TAKE someone's child clear across the world for her on selfish benefit. It's something seriously wrong with all of the people think that this is right.

I've never had a care about Madonna one way or the other but you can best believe she is public enemy number 1. I am making the rounds to all the MAJOR BLACK sites in the net and making sure that it known that this is a disgrace, this family has been tricked and their child STOLEN. WE WILL BOYCOTT THIS woman SHE SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SET FOOT IN AMERICA WITHOUT BLACK FOLKS PROTESTING UNTIL SHE GIVES THAT BABY BACK TO ITS FAMILY.

TAKE THAT ACCESSORY BS TO YOUR OWN FREAKING COUNTRIES. I DON'T SEE THESE CELEBS AND DEMENTED CRACKERS ADOPTING THEIR OWN KIDS. I GUESS THERE ARE NO POOR KIDS IN IRELAND, RUSSIA, ENGLAND....NO YOU WANT CHILDREN OF COLOR SO YOU CAN ABUSE THEM WITHOUT ANY BACKLASH. SHE PROBABLY WANTED THE AFRICAN BOY SO SHE CAN SEXUALLY ASSUALT HIM IN A FEW YEARS.

ALL OF THE PEOPLE SUPPORTING THIS OUTRAGE ARE NASTY DISGUSTING CRACKERS AND I WON'T STOP UNTIL SHE IS STOPPED.

Wow...I normally thank my commentors for visiting this blog...but I think I won't. Thanks for reminding me that there are obnoxious people in the world. I think that is all I have to say. Sorry I can't be nicer...happy to not be meaner.

Seriously...so Madonna is a child abuser, and that is the only reason she wants to adopt a child from Africa.

And the baby was stolen? Interesting, considering the father of the baby is supportive of the adoption.

Just curious, Ms. That-Lady, would you be okay with an African American celebrity adopting a child from Africa? Or does the color of the skin change everything?

So much for this:

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Madonna, This child has a father who appearently loves him and wants him. What gives you the right to decide that his life with his father is not good enough. If you are so concerned, why don't you help his family instead of tearing his family apart. Would you want someone taking your children from you, I believe not. My hope is that someone will get involved in this matter and help reunite father and son.

Diana, I fear you do not understand the surrounding issues regarding Modonna's adoption. The father has come out publicly that Modonna should be allowed to adopt his son. Having worked with orphans, and seeing a family member come visit them, I think the family is already torn apart, and Modonna is likely not doing much more to tear it a part. Likely the father cannot or will not provide adequately for his child.

im sorry but it has be said that the selfish people in this situation are the ones unable to see the kind and life changing deed madonna is doing for this unfortunate child. If madonna was not to adopted this child then what sort of life would he have? Yes, he may still have livig family, but i doubt whether that would be for long, and i doubt whether david would live long either, if he were to stay in malawi. The life expectency in africa is extreamly low due to poverty, drought, aids and many other problems. Whats the harm in taking a, at that moment, young healthy child from a poor unfortunate country which can offer him nothing but an early and undeserved death, to a country and life where he can have all he desires, food, clean water, possesions and, although not blood related, a kind loving family who will treat him as if he were there own. madonna could give him so much more than his father can. Davids father knows this, and thats the reason he quite happily gave david up, bacause he knew madonna could give his child so much more than he can or ever will be able to. the fact that madonna is adopting the child so young, means that david will no no different to the life he will have will madonna, unaffecting his culture and life because he doesnt really remember them. Im sorry but david is his child and if its alright with the father, thats good enough for me and should be good enough for everyone else. Madonna is dong a spectaclar and beautiful thing, accepting a child that is not her own, and giving it an extradinary life many people wish for. i totally admire her.

I believe your thoughts are too idealistic. Certainly the child will have a "glamorous" life. Which I doubt is actually all that fun for a child anyways, being that Paparrazi is a grief giving entity that most any star wishes to rid their lives of. The children don't even have a choice or chance of escape.

It is true that the life expectancy in Africa is scarily low, and maybe this child has an opportunity to live a longer life, but that does not immediately mean better.

David will know a difference in the life he will have with Madonna. He'll know he was adopted, he'll know that he's African and likely he'll even know that he's not African-American. Like many adopted children, he might even want to revisit his life and feel as though he has no where to belong.

Then there are issues of attachment. It is likely that this boy has no mother if the father is the only voice in letting the child go, and attachment is strongest in the mother, so likely this boy has attachment disorders already, but I am sure he will suffer from further attachment issues for many years. The counter to that argument is that he will likely suffer attachment issues in his orphanage as well.

As for a life that many people wish for, I again respectfully disagree. What I see underlying your comments (maybe this is too much of an assumption) is the Western glamor dream, which is not going to help anybody in poverty.

Lastly, pulling everybody out of their country because it is better for that child is not necessarily the answer. Madonna could give the father a healthy allowance every month to raise the boy. She could provide for an entire orphanage.

All that to say, the answer is not easy. I am not opposed to foreign adoption, but there are positives and negatives to weigh and likely neither side completely outweighs the other.

i hate bein adopted it sucks so for the kids out there that hate it i am right along there with you. if you have any quetions my e-mail is mavs_sarah@yahoo.com

thanks
