Madonna Adopts A Baby Boy!
The Material Mom has added another child to her crew!
With a humanitarian spirit like Angelina Jolie, Madge arrived in Malawi on Wednesday and also moved ahead with plans to fund a center for 1,000 orphans, many of whom lost parents to AIDS in the impoverished African nation.
Madonna and an entourage arrived in the Malawian capital Lilongwe by private plane early on Wednesday and were quickly whisked away to an undisclosed location in a fleet of cars and trucks.
Government officials said the 48-year-old singer, already a mother of two, chose the one-year-old orphan from among 12 children specially chosen prior to her arrival in the country, which has legions of children orphaned by the AIDS epidemic.
"She asked us to identify boys only, which we have done after visiting four orphanages in Lilongwe," government spokeswoman Adrina Michiela said. Michiela said Madonna had wanted to adopt a girl but changed her mind two weeks ago.
Madonna has said she plans to spend at least $3 million on programs to support orphans in Malawi and another $1 million to fund a documentary about the plight of children in the country.

Re: Madoona adopts
Its so trendy now  It seems like a competition to get press. Wasn't Meg Ryan doing this also?
But at least these children are getting a good home. I just hope they are loved and cared for also and not just seen by the adoptive parent as a publicity stunt.

Re: Madoona adopts
Why don't any of these celebrities adopt babies from America or donate/start centers in our country? While we are not a 3rd world country there are millions of babies here that are orphans due to tramatic circumstances.
