Madonna to Adopt Malawian Baby? Fact or Fiction?

Despite the obstacles Madonna faced adopting David Banda from Malawi, it is true that the 50-year-old pop star is considering adopting another child from the African nation.

Madonna was quoted in the country’s newspaper the Nation saying that she was "considering" adopting another child — but on one condition. " … [I] would only do it if I had the support of the Malawian people and the government."

Since the news hit, Madonna’s mouthpiece Liz Rosenberg confirmed Madge’s desire to expand her family to People magazine.

"Madonna has stated many times that she’d love to adopt again," Rosenberg said.

Madonna also said it gave her great pleasure adopting David Banda, for it paved the way for the creation of adoption laws in Malawi. "I am the template or the role model, so to speak, for future adoptions," the singer said. Besides adopted son David Banda, 3, Madonna is the birth mother to two other children. Daughter Lourdes, 12, who she had with a past lover, and son Rocco, 8, who she had with former husband Guy Ritchie.

Madge, you go girl! As long as you’re able to balance your spectacular career, family and date your young, gorgeous plaything, we think it’s great that you’re able to provide love, shelter and education to any child.

I’ m all for adaoption for the right reasons.  Of course this child would have a better life from what it is used to as long as Modonna is not trying to one up Angelina.  Children need a lot of care and I don’t just mean a Nanny.  I feel for these children but we also have children in desperate need right here in the United States that need adoption.  Picking one child our of millions in Africa is a losing battle.  Maybe they should follow in Oprah’s footsteps and use their wealth to impact dozens and start schools etc.  My hope is only if it is  for the right reason not because it makes Modonna feel good.

LOL…so did Sean Penn.   Per Perez, at a post Oscar party, Madge went up to her ex-husband to congratulate him for his Oscar win…Sean, ever galant, looked over her date and is reported to have asked, "did you adopt again?"  Ouch.
