I figured that Madonna would be denied considering the issues she had with David’s adoption. It really is too bad considering the opportunity that a child in her family could have.

Despite what anyone may think about Madonna and , her children seemed well loved and cared for, it is a shame that as of right now Mercy has been denied that. Even with the papparazzi in their lives it would still beat living in an orphanage. I wish there was more resources and money available to myself when I was growing up. I guess adopting from Malawi isn’t really an option for the regular folk since there is that residency rule.

who knows if its been brought up already( probably has) but the main point EVERYONE should think about is

is living with paps constantly photographing you and crreeeeeeeping around your home all that better? I think its a different kind of sad living situation.

also, remember that children are raised differently in other countries so just because they cant afford pampers and pack and plays doesnt mean they can’t afford which is need to survive. I’d like to know more about the grandmother and less about mommie dearest to be honest

Lindsay & Aaron well said. If these children had families who were able to take care of them, we wouldn’t even be discussing this.

Yeah, but really…..this is a pretty stupid stunt for them to be pulling right now. She’s already adopted a child from their country and didn’t have to fulfill those requirements, so why are they trying to impose them now? And for all of those out there commenting about her parenting skills, do you have kids? Or direct access into her life? I think it’s pretty telling that we never see any stories of her kids acting out and doing crazy things like other celebrity children. Granted, they are still young but definitely old enough to cause a scene if they wanted to.

Unless Madge can fully commit to raising both David and Mercy with full knowledge of their culture and history, I’m not so sure she should be allowed to adopt. I think that’s the point the government is trying to prove here.

I think the most telling parts of the story were:
1. She did not go to Malawai to meet and choose a child, she sent an assistant to go pick one for her, like it’s an outfit.
2. She could not be bothered to go to the hearing herself- I’m sorry, but if you care about this child, it seems that the most important place to be would be the court hearing to decide the adoption.
Children are not toys or collectible items to trot out for publicity!

@alisaj–All I’m sayin’ is that if Mercy’s grandmother wanted to raise her, don’t you think she’d be doing it by now? You think she’s at an orphanage for the fun of it? If David’s father was able to raise him, why was he at an orphanage when Madonna first met him? You certainly are entitled to your opinion, but don’t you think these are pretty logical questions to ask yourself before throwing out the assumption that Madonna is running around Africa stealing kids? I’m just reading what you said… “First she stole David from his father, now she trying to take poor Mercy away from her grandmother who wants to raise her.”….Now don’t you think you got it wrong??

@Aaron – 1. Don’t call me stupid, you don’t know me from a hole in the wall.

2. I’m entitled to my opinion, just as much as you’re entitled to ours, and that doesn’t make my opinions invalid or stupid.

And I never judged her on her past, I’m giving my opinioin on the information I see and hear now. Everyone has things that other’s would judge “wrong”, but I could care less. However, I think she should spend her time w/the children she has now and focus her atten on them.
