Keepin My Baby: Update

Filed under: Madonna > Baby Blabber

Madonna's bid to officially adopt little David Banda just got a little easier.

David's biological father has spoken out in FAVOR of Madge's adoption.

He told news agency Reuters in a TV interview, "I have no problem with the government's recommendation to allow Madonna to get the child. This is what I wanted, that Madonna should keep the child."

He states that he would love to see little David while Madge is in the country this week to finalize the adoption. But, if not then, every few years so he could see the boy's development.

ALSO, one of Malawi's fiercest critics of Madonna's adoption bid, the Human Rights Consultative Committee (HRCC), said on Monday it was no longer interested in pursuing the case.

"It will be as a waste of time and resources to continue pursuing the case. Malawi has more pressing issues than Madonna," HRCC chairman Udule Mwakasungura told Reuters.

Madonna is scheduled to appear in a Malawian court on Thursday for what is expected to be a final and favorable ruling on whether she can adopt little David.

Yay, one happy family!

      He's a very lucky little boy and they should recognize how much this opportunity means for him, instead of giving her a hard time they should focus on other children that NO ONE'S ADOPTING and be thankful one child is offered such a chance at a wonderful life.

      In this case, she saved the child's life. If they're worried about future cases in Malawi, as they should be, they should do what Madonna has been advocating all along and put well defined policies in place for adoption. It is a little crazy to fly back and forth and "observe" her living conditions, when there are about a million starving children with no parents in Malawi getting no attention from the government or very little.

      Madonna is a skank. She should retire & send that kid back to Africa or wherever it came from. He's better off in a hut.

      God this woman is ugly. And old too. Everything she does is calculated so stop pretending it is not. Follow the money. Vadge is a money-grubbing whore.

      Angelina has been there. Done that. Damn this woman does not have ONE original bone in her tired old body. BTW.. look at her with no make-up in this pic…someone needs to retouch her body.

      I could have sworn that was a picture of Michael J. Fox's wife. Don't you think the resemblance is amazing? I don't mean to insult Mrs. Fox…she's far more tolerable than Hag-Bag Vadge.

      31

      Adoptive parents must be resident in Malawi to adopt. Why? To prevent human trafficking. Madonna is collectively working to destroy those laws. Why?

    32. Angelina Wannabe says – reply to this


      32

      Hey look, it's Old-Hag-Madge and her little black kid trying to do something to get more press in hopes of helping rise her VERY VERY week album sales. She couldn't top Mariah, she's a 3rd rate Angelina and soon, she will be less known than Aunt Bea (who made much higher praised movies than Madonna!).

      Please give it a rest… you're old and the only reason your song was a #1 single was because of Justin Timberlake!

      The little boy may now be in a home with more wealth, but he isn't there because he was wanted or because he's loved. Madonna did it for the publicity, no question about it. Ask her PR people.

    37. Dana says – reply to this


      37

      Why do we all have to pretend we really like Madonna?? She and her music suck now…Please just fade away!!!!!!!!!

      whether she did it for PR or not it doesn't matter he still got adopted and is living the GOOD LIFE!! It's a shame how when people do things that are actually good ppl bash them. stop drinking haterade and try a little Gatorade!

      45

      Surprised they let the fruitcake Madonna keep him. The old whore's been making such an ass of herself lately in the media by acting like the old slut she is. Thought they might give the poor boy back to his dad in Africa.

    46. Sotsie says – reply to this


      46

      Apparently, this is another little kid who can't walk yet. What's up with these celeb moms holding all their kids instead of letting them walk.

    47. Poor kid says – reply to this


      47

      Imagine having this phoney old whore as your mom. Sure she's got millions, but wouldn't you be embarrassed having this fruitcake as your mother whoring it up all over and acting like a dirty old slut with Justin just for more money more money… she's nauseating… crips kid probably would have been better off with his Dad in Africa then living with this dirty bitch.. poor lourdes and rocco too.. yuck what a mother.. let me whore it up all over. She sux.. old fart!

    48. Vadge keeps her baby says – reply to this

      OOOOh… look at Vadge.. she's keepin' her baby. Nice … adopt a kid as you're just putting out a new CD… this woman will stoop to anything to be noticed.. what a sick freak! No wonder why Lourdes wants to move in with her father… to get away from dark root whore

      MADGE HASN"T HAD BLACK HAIR in 10-15 years. ITS A Trick to make her look younger. She loves it when people think that is her dark hair growing out. I think its hilarious.

    53. lindsey says – reply to this


      53

      She doesn't have, never has, and never will have enough morals to be adopting a child and give him a truly good and loving stable life. Money should have zip to do with an adoption.

      I swear that adopted children take on the looks of the adoptive parents! Tom Cruise's son looks just like Tom Cruise, and now this little boy look just like Guy Ritchie. I love how Madonna is copying the Angelina sweep of a large child onto the hip. This Madonna is so has been I can't stand her! She's a has-been singer and a has-been celebrity. She wishes she were Angelina!! You know it!!!

      Who didn't see this coming? Of course she gets to keep the baby she BOUGHT. It's a poor ass nation and I'm sure she paid off his father too. Stop acting like she's some great humanitarian. The nany raises the kids anyway. She's a skank who just wanted publicity. She hated someone like Angelina getting sainthood points. Stop printing shit about this old has been.

      I admire madonna very much but this thing makes me sick. The boy HAS a father, she could help David's father instead of taking the child away. They could have a chance to be a family. Think if someone takes you somewere else just because your parents don't have the cash. It's horrible isn't it? Money is not everything in life.

      She offered to support the father in the care of his son. He said no! Why, because he had moved to another village and was expecting a child with a women that he later married. So he gave his blessing to the adoption. The reason Malawi came to her attention was that aids had wiped a generation of parents leaving 1 million orphans. Children and granparents. Of course the adoption laws have to be changed so these kids can be rescued. I have no problem with her bringing attention to this plight(which is why she was enlisted in the first place) and providing food, medicine, shelter and education to the country while the government sorts out the adoption laws. She had already set programs in motion and spent money on Malawi long before it was leaked that she and her husband were interested in adopting a child. What is the problem!

      On a totally different Madonna topic:

      Her official press release announcing her Sticky & Sweet Tour starts like this:

      MADONNA'S YUMMY "STICKY & SWEET" TOUR ITINERARY UNWRAPPED FOR FANS FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME
      "HARD CANDY" CD DEBUTS AT NUMBER 1 AROUND THE WORLD IN 27 COUNTRIES THUS FAR INCLUDING US, UK, FRANCE, GERMANY, JAPAN AND AUSTRALIA

      Yes, she mentions Japan and Australia yet has failed to include either country on her tour schedule. Okay, so she played japan last time, but missing Oz again!?!?!?! Come On Madge!!!! You promised REPEATEDLY in several interviews that you would tour Australia when you left Oz off the Confessions tour. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!!! It's been 15 years since your first AND ONLY tour Down Under. Australians love you. Take it Down Under… it's sticky and sweet too.

      Mr. Banda's request is reasonable, and I hope Madonna will honor it. He's not asking for too much. Of course he'll always love his son, and the boy was never an orphan. Mr. Banda was forced to make a difficult decision, and he chose the alternative that was most likely to keep his son alive. He already lost two sons to malaria.

      Do the right thing, Madonna. Bring David home for visits over the years.

      I wonder how much money Madonna gave that boy's "father" (he calls his own son "the child") to hand him over to her like an animal he didn't want anymore. And what kind of father says "you take him…I'll check up on him EVERY TEN YEARS". Every ten years! As for Madonna, an African baby is simply the latest in must-have accessories. Here's something telling: she got him from a child care center that consists of mostly orphans, mostly AIDS affilicted children. Which one does she adopt? The cute one who's NOT an orphan and does NOT have AIDS. Madonna is a self-serving cunt. It's not about HIM, it's about her, always about HER.

      The only reason she made that documentary is because she wants an oscar the bitch doesn't care about Africa she works in Africa because she wants to convert the Africains to Kabbalah.
