It's been interesting......

Since Friday there's been some interesting conversation going on about Madonna not being able to adopt the child from Malawai. The comments have been varied, everything from, "it should just be about the child no matter what the laws, rules etc say" to what's wrong with our own orphans here in the US" I just read a story which stated "Madonna flew in on her private jet and in her luxury hootel had a party complete with entertainment for the heads of her charitable organization which helps provide for the orphans over there as well as the government officials" I know she has more money than she knows what to do with, but imagine what it cost for all of the above and what that same money could have done for orphans here, and since she is providing for them over there why not adopt a child here and give them a loving home? Children are being adopted everyday by loving parents and the only time we here anything about it, is if it concerns a celebrity. It would be wonderful if they would use their celebrity to bring the attention back to the plight of the children in our country. Share your thoughts!

Unlike Madonna, I didn't pick out my child like a puppy in the window. She is stuck on this kid. As for her charity, her taxes show she donated very little of her money directly. SHe attended fundraisers but never cut a fat check. She donated millions to Kaballah but not her own charity. I wrote about her in my blog before she was denied http://coupledumb.com/2009/04/01/madonna-and-safety-in-the-same-sentence-without-the-words-dental-dam/. I have never been a fan and this stuff just adds fuel to the fire. Kids aren't accessories. Have a great weekend Samantha (BTW-moving the sex week to the next week due to the Mother of all bloggers contest. You are up on my blogroll though! Can't wait for the testing of the new product;)).

Madonna is almost bribing people to get the kid she wants. This child has family in the area ,the grandmother is asking her to leave the child . If Madonna cared so much for this child ,help the family so the child can be loved by them.

Comment by Samantha on April 5, 2009 at 4:54pm: I agree with you and I had read today that Madonna actually has a charity there that takes care of them, if you get a chance read my post "its been interesting"

Comment by K Diva on April 5, 2009 at 4:35pm: All I have to say is, I hope the kid gets into a great family. Can you imagine growing up broke and a ward of the state then finding out you had a chance to be adopted by Madonna, and were denied. I'd be pissed! If she gets desperate she can adopt me but I come with a kid and a hungry ass husband.
