Mar 25 2009Madonna's flings threaten her adoption plans

Madonna's relationships with Jesus Luz and Alex "A-Rod" Rodriguez have thrown a wrench into her plans to adopt three-year-old Mercy from Malawi. NY Daily News reports:
"The news she is linked to another woman's husband and a young man less than half her age makes us question her morals."
Officials are unhappy the 50-year-old Material Mom, who adopted toddler David Banda in Malawi in 2006, flaunted her relationship with Luz in a recent racy W Magazine spread.
Simon Chisale, Malawi's child welfare chief, said morality plays a big part in the adoption process.
"We do not only look at the material issues, but also the moral standing of prospective adoptive parents, because we do not want our children's morals to be corrupted," Chisale said.
When reached for comment, Madonna responded by sprouting leather wings and flying off into the air. She was last seen over the Atlantic carrying a small African child in her talons. In related news, the entire country of Malawi is still engulfed in flames this morning...

This is the most satisfying news I have read on here in quite some time.
Just goes to show that celebreties aren't untouchable and their morals CAN be questioned. Here's hoping Mercy gets adopted by a much nicer and normal mum and dad, rather than leathery witch hag from hell.

This is a standard tactic that everyone who does business in Africa, or at an African consulate or embassy, would recognize.
This announcement from officials in Malawi only indicates that they see the opportunity for greatly increased bribes for themselves, that's all.
Nothing new.
Why doesn't Madonna adopt an orphan from Denmark or Sweden for a change?
13. Jrz - March 25, 2009 10:34 AM
Shit.... as if that's the only thing she's ever done that is morally questionable. How about just being a raging mirror-kisser alone? How about being friends with Gwenyth Paltrow? How about the whole fucking lace glove/bow thing back in the 80's?

#12. I often find myself wondering why celebs like MADONNA and ANGELINA JOLIE dont adopt Spanish children. I really think Angelina needs a Mexican one to finish her 'collection'.
16. AteIsEnough - March 25, 2009 11:02 AM
NOW they question her morals? Are you fucking kidding me? I wouldn't let this person try to mold my plants much less real children. Have they not ever seen, heard or read about Madge before this?
Whatev!!

Why do they question her morals for being with a man half her age, but men are allowed to be with women half their age all the time and nobody questions their morals.

Hmmm. While I can't stand Madonna, I do wonder if they would've been as concerned about a man's morality if he had been with a woman more than half his age and wanted to adopt.
21. African official - March 25, 2009 11:43 AM
We weigh morality very heavily in the adoption process. And by that, I mean the weight we give it is zero. If you can feed one of these kids and swat the flies away, well, christ, you're doing a hell of a lot better than we are.
22. GodlessWorld - March 25, 2009 11:47 AM
It's a godless world whether you grow up as Madonna's adopted child or in Malawi. In Madonna's godless world there will be food, health care and a nanny. Since the kid will only be a fashion statement he/she will feel unloved in a filthy rich kind of way. In Malawi, the kid will live in a godless world full of AIDS, starvation, abuse, rape and death all before the age of 5. So which life is better? Let the theologians decide.
23. demiiio - March 25, 2009 11:56 AM
this is just ridiculous.everybody knows that madonna is an amazing mother,.u can look at david and see how good he is now .he was dying when madonna adopt him.and there are a lots of kids that needs help and when someone offer her help they dont want it??everybody knows that madonna loves to schock and all of that.so what.she is a good person.they cant judge just because her lovers.she will be the mother and the dad of that kids.she deserves to adopt.she gave lots of money to malawi.she build a hospital and a school with her own money.dont be ridiculous.madonna is an amazing mother and she wont give up
24. jonnathan - March 25, 2009 11:59 AM
madonna is a smart woman.she did a lot to this world.and a lot to malawi.she always was a good mother.she is always there for her kids.she doesnt use drugs she doesnt get drunk.she is just at home taking care of her kids and work.david looks so happy now.and he is so well care.if she has money she needs to help those kids.so selfish that people say bad things when some people try to help kids.get a life.madonna is not a whore.she is just a genious woman that used her sexuality fornthe world to hear her.

Since she's broken off with both A-Rod and Jesus, wouldn't they be considered Flungs now?
33. I was adopted by a slut mother - Great Book Title - March 25, 2009 12:38 PM
Madonna and moral values, what a joke, I guess the Malawi adoption agency really didn't do their due diligence on this one. What were they thinking? At least they are not money hungry little shits, and they do care about the future mental state of the children. However, the little one would be a future millionaire in their own right, and he/she could write the best seller - "I Was Adopted by a Slut Mother." Could be a very good read.
34. USA - March 25, 2009 12:44 PM
Why do all these media whores only adopt foreign kids like they are a different kind of a dog breed or something. What's wrong with American kids that need homes. She could find lots of interesting interracial kid-lets to add to her heard that are currently in foster care or being incubated by unwed mothers in this country.
35. kk - March 25, 2009 12:46 PM
madonna is a great mother.and she has values.she works,she doesnt uses drugs.so what.she was married for 10 years now she is single .so what.having boyfreind is a sin.get a life u morons.shitney sucks and that is a terrible mother

I agree with JoHo, They saw an opportunity to squeeze more money out of this dumbass.
Actually, they're questioning her morals RIGHT NOW, as they pass around Madonna's sex book and it's turned to the page with the bull whip sticker.
I heard this is all in response to that nigerian prince who wants to keep all that money in madonna's bank account.

On second thought, fuck you. The last time some one said 2 out of 10 to me was when a was assured I'd only have to swallow 2 out of 10 loads in the "training" video "My Ass is Your Bumper, 'Come' Crash"....... needless to say... the dripped all over me like the floor of the church under the rosary candles.........

PUH-LEASE like the adoption officials knew nothing of Madonna and her past. She has a photography book of herself called SEX and a song called Erotica. I think her sleeping with a twenty something is the least of their problems.

I can't believe the double standard with adoption....
any idiot can pop out as many children as they want (Octo-Mom)
but people have to jump through hoops to adopt.
it just seems like a bizarre system to me. People scream for anti-abortion while others as asking to take care of the unwanted children and being told no because of their perceived "morals".
This makes me sick.
50. lola - March 25, 2009 4:35 PM
I completely agree with #49. HOWEVER, it is usually VERY DIFFICULT to get in-vitro. My sister has been trying for years. You need to go on a long waiting list, pass tons of screening tests, USUALLY you must be married, and be in good mental standing. The costs are near $20,000 for one implant which may or may not work. There are also income requirements (more than people make where she lives).
The octo-mom's doctor is FAR from the norm. Too many doctor's are afraid of lawsuits to use common sense and let more women get the procedure done. The octo-mom has caused much more harm to my sister's cause from having an irresponsible doctor.
I am so pissed that octo-mom got the new house, celeb duds and shades, and the latte. Sure some people donated and taxpayers covered her ass. Keep in mind all the interviews she did which probably paid for most of it.
Despite all that, I wouldn't trade places with her for all the money in the world. She looks like a jackass in front of all the world. She, at least, "looks" like an Angelina wannabe with plastic nose and plastic bozo clown lips. It isn't worth a million dollars to change half of the dirty diapers, cook the dinners, do the laundry, etc. for those kids. Sure she has help for now, but the money train will run out eventually and she will be stuck with constant responsibility.

am I not the only one who finds it ironic that a spokesperson from malawi is talking smack like that ? Malawi has one of the highest % of people with AIDs (not that having aids makes you a bad person) and has gone through many corruption scandals with its government. Madonna would be a better for any child who's alternative is living in a small hut.

@49 -- ITA w/you. My DH & I tried fertility treatments for years and endured so many disappointments ... you'd think that people who want to adopt because they want a family and --not a fashion statement that needs food and attention -- would at least be considered with some compassion. But holy shit, DH&I did everything but give DNA -- home studies, physicians' reports, proof of a religious affiliation (we had to prove we were married in a CAtholic ceremony) reasons why we wanted to adopt from a foreign country, letters of support from our friends and siblings, provide 3 years worth of income tax statements, get screened by the Dept. of Homeland Security, have state, county and local police records (they must be clean) and be fingerprinted. That's before we were even approved to adopt from Poland.
Once we got to Poland, we got to meet our girls for a couple of hours every day. We could not take them off the orphanage property -- not even for a walk down the block. We had to make three trips to Poland -- it's a freaking 10 hour flight if we were lucky enough to get a non-stop flight -- and people from Europe shower like once a week. 60 hours of that on a plane and when we finally got to Warsaw, we were met with soldiers holding machine guns aimed at your head. Even if I had enough mental energy to process that image at that time, I don't think I would have believed what I saw. Luckily I was jet-lagged and sleep-deprived and had enough anti-anxiety medication in me that I was only capable of putting one foot in front of the other and presenting my passport.
Now everyone asks if we want to adopt again. If they knew the truth of what we went through to get our children from Poland, they would know that "Oh hell no" is not a statement bitterness, just not willing to fork out $40,000 and "gifts" for the orphanage officers, and log another 60 hours sitting next to smelly, unwashed Euro-trash.
@12: The reason kids don't get adopted from Denmark, Norway or Sweden is because those three countries have the highest rate of people who rated themselves as "happy" with their lives and have enough positive social structure to support one another instead acting like "Desperate Housewives". They're happy, they have a great government infrastructure to help them raise their children, good schools, from pre-school through college, they have good jobs, stable economies and take care of their own needs first instead of being war-mongering troglodykes like GWB.

And why not adopting Mercy, if she can pay enough attention etc. to Mercy.

She is a very good mother, and she pays enough attention to all her children and don't anybody to do wrong with her children then I get fat angry and curse you to hell/death. or worse..
