Madonna has adopted twin girls from the African country of Malawi earlier this week. The same country where her other two adopted children are from. Best wishes for the family.

I wish them the best.

Lawrence Odonnell started the K.I.N.D. Fund which I believe is now part of UNICEF.  The program provides school desks for the children in Malawi, who previously sat on dirt floors in their schools and never complained, and it also contributes tuition for young girls who otherwise would never be able to have an education.  The children there are so grateful for these opportunities and hungry for education.

At 58, would she even be allowed to adopt in the US?

Just another possession for her - she can parade them out in public, like she did David - wonder why her own son wants nothing to do with her?

She certainly is not someone to admire, but she is someone who can buy whatever she wants, including children.

I don't know the ins and outs of what happened with her son. I have never heard of any problems with her daughter Lourdes, or the adopted children

I wish them happiness. I'm not a fan of hers, but, I certainly have no reason to wish that family ill

This is exactly how I feel @cherry.

I'm happy for her! Congratulations and I wish them the best.

Btw, one of the worst things an adopted child can hear is that they were "bought", as someone posted.

@Bri21  My thoughts exactly.  I don't care if she's Madonna, she's too OLD.

The twin girls arent babies, they're five so Madonna isn't too old. Here in Massachustts people over fifty adopt all the time.
