Madonna confirms Malawi adoption pushkhuon mau
Madonna has confirmed her attempts to adopt a young Malawian girl and said through a spokeswoman that she is following standard procedures in adopting the child amid criticism by some that she was using her fame to quicken the process.
The 50-year-old pop superstar also confirmed she took her 3-year-old son David, also adopted from Malawi, to visit with his biological father Yohane Banda for the first time since she and David left the country in 2006.
"Madonna is committed to maintaining an ongoing relationship with David's Malawian roots," said Liz Rosenberg in a statement Tuesday morning.
Madonna arrived in the African nation this week with David, her 12-year-old daughter Lourdes and 8-year-old son Rocco, and has toured the country and also visited a day care center built by her charity.

The Malawian authorities do not let single people adopt. But seeing as it is Madonna it is different.
So, the question is, when Madge gets the girl, is it for the childs benefit, or because she is giving cash to the community (almost buying the kid)

Its a new thread, so I welcome it in open arms.
The thread, not Madonna.
I wouldn't piss on that woman if she was on fire.

LOL, that's funny. Well, it looks like she isn't getting the kid after all. Something to do with the residency requirement that the officials in Malawi waved when she adopted David. The little girl does have a grandmother who wasn't too keen on the idea either. I guess Madonna doesn't get her own way all the time. Then again, maybe she will challenge it.

The orphanage was getting people abandoning their kids, in the hope that a star would adopt them. Shocking.
She is a single mother, she would struggle to adopt anywhere. Her relationship fell apart and she put everything into the adoption, and now thats gone tits up too.
She has 3 kids, she should be greatful for that

Three would definitely be enough for me. Two are enough. They are a lot of work. Especially as they get older. LOL.

But then, Madonna probably doesn't look after her kids. She has a childminder.
There was this whole thing when Rocco was younger, her called the babysitter 'mommy'.
Ok, how do I know the name of Madonna's kids?
This is what celeb culture does.
