It's Official!

Filed under: Madonna > Baby Blabber

wenn12566352__opt1.jpg

After a process that has spanned over two years…

A Malawai court on Wednesday finally approved Madonna's adoption of little David.

She's his mommy - for good!

A lawyer for her Madgesty has released a statement, saying, "We are very happy with what the judge has ruled. It is a positive and beautiful judgment that will have an impact on Malawi's adoption laws."

The adoption has been very controversial, with critics accusing the government of skirting laws that ban non-residents from adopting children in Malawi, which has been badly hit by an AIDS epidemic that has left more than 1 million orphans.

Many people and groups opposed the adoption, but in the end, even David's biological father wanted Madonna to be able to legally care for the child.

Congrats to mother and son!

    Since obama ruined my show after twenty years, I will ruin him.
    He lied to you people about everything. Even his uncle that he
    said help free jews..all bullshit. He even told the veterans yesterday that his uncle came home from jew prison camps and went upstairs in his attic and didn't come out
    for 6 months. Boy, he can really tell stories, can't he? Wonder what else he will tell us?

    Congrats to David and his new family but how outrageous to put them through a two year ordeal. These children need homes and the process should be a year, tops. In this country it takes a year and we held our breathe until we were in front of the judge and he said, you are officially a family. And in our case the birth mom severed all ties two days after his birth. Let's put these kids in good safe homes, home studies take a few hours, not a few months or years….

    It's official, she can finally keep her token. The weight of her white guilt has been lifted just a little today. Now lets see her lift a little more and actually put some of her $600 million fortune to work in her home state. There are hundreds of thousands of minorities who could use some help.

    Re: Logica – white guilt? token? wow…. that's funked up. You know, Madonna's mother was French Canadian, her father Italian — I seriously doubt she's got slave-owning plantation masters in her family tree.. The US is one of, if not THE richest country in the world.. how about it's govenrment & people take care of themselves ~ and allow ppl with means & money to help those in 3rd world nations ’cause those are the ones that REALLY need the help.

    Stop kissing her ass. She bought the kid and citizenship. She's not a big humanitarian. She's introducing that nation to her cult (Kabbalah) now is why there's schools ect there now.

    Where does it says the boy's own father wanted to give him on adoption ?
    ONLY IN YOUR MIND !!!

    This kid HAS a father who wanted him back ! go and adopt an orhpan if you will…
    That why this process took so long, because his own family wanted to have this child. When does the poor people who loves and cares for his children have to be stolen like this ? Do we have to miss appropiate all poor's sons, just because they are no rich dads ?
    shame on you.

    Who takes a child from their birth father? This is the most sick thing ever.
    If Angelina Faker wanted to really be of service she would give David and his fathter $250,000 and they could have lived like kings for life in THEIR OWN COUNTRY.
    Publicity stunt once again.

    It is this adoption that will put the final nail in the coffin of the Madonna/Guy Richie marriage.

    While Guy might have been sympathetic to the needs of the Malawi people, I don't think he was on board with this adoption. Madonna is a self-important bitch. I feel sorry for that child. They must stop all these white people stealing black children from Africa. Saving one child does not solve the problem of 400 years of exploitations and underdevelopment of an entire continent.

    Why didn´t she adopt an orphan instead of a kid who still had a parent left?

    Cool. Now maybe she can go to India and buy another one!

  51. MADONN says – reply to this
    51

    Now she has an illegitimate hispanic daughter
    A white son with a husband that will soon leave her.
    A black kid now who has a father that is alive and well.
    Since Madonna is so completely transparent you just know the Asian one is right around the corner.
    She thinks she is so shocking and controversial but she is just insane with a tampon string on her wrist.

  52. Jay says – reply to this

    Now her and Guy can go ahead and get divorced.
    I don't think he wanted this kid at all.

    What is with the Celeb trend of adopting (collecting) children I hope its well intentioned and not a publicity stunt.

  57. Madge says – reply to this
    57

    This whore did it for the publicity. Otherwise, she would have adopted several children from the USA. She treats her own kids like second class citizens. No TV, no cake. She killed 11 of her own, and she's going to try to be the center of our universe until the day she croaks.

    It was about time, seriously. And all the people that criticized her saying she took little David without his father concent, or whatever… I am very happy she helps David and Malawi too! The world needs more people like her and others that actually help. Anyways, Madonna just confirmed her concert in my country, PORTUGAL, I AM SO HAPPY! HAIL THE QUEEN! (sorry for my english, lol)

    Why do people act like Madonna walks on water? She still poops brown people. She's just an entertainer who had the advantage of having big bucks to buy whatever she wants. Meanwhile, she shit on her alcoholic brother. She washed her hands of him and said "He's a drunk." She also promised to pay for her dead gay pal's funeral. He died from AIDS. When they quoted her a price of 4000 dollars, she renigged. She explained "That's too much money." Her old pal Martin Bergoin.

  71. She is says – reply to this

    as opposed to Angelina Jolie, Madonna is actually providing a stable home for David.
    !!!
    She doesn't drag him from one hotel room to another, didn't force too many drastic changes (such as adding another child every 4 month to the family) and making sure he is well adjusted, as well as the rest of the children are adjusted and welcoming.

    Ahhhhhh……Finally. And once they change the adoption laws in Malawi, We can all thank Madonna for allowing herself to be a punching bag for change ONCE AGAIN!
    And for the idiot who said that the father wanted him back (#41 - Tell m)………….please provide a link to the story that states he & his family wanted him back……..Oh thats right you can't because he has been behind this adoption from DAY 1…….. Loser. Take you & your LAMB Holier than Thou attitude elsewhere. Shouldn't you be on the phone to radio stations across the country requesting Mariah FLOP single Bye Bye? I guess Benny & Def Jam wanted to see how well her music does WITHOUT Payola and didn't sign the checks.
