Madonna's Malawian Adoption: Appeal to The Supreme Court


Bitch

Recommended Posts

But his dad John claimed Guy would be" very relieved" by the court ruling - made because Madonna had not lived in Malawi for at least 18 months before the case.

John, 78, of Kensington, west London, said:" When they were together he was never in favour of adopting a second child - which caused tensions.

" He made it clear he was happy with the family he had."

M & Guy aren't married anymore ... why do do they keep talking to this blabbermouth old man all the time?! :manson:

Huffington Report:

Playa Hatin' on Madonna

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

Political Analyst and Social Issues Commentator

Posted April 4, 2009 | 01:23 PM (EST)

Let's cut the bull. The issue is not Mercy James. That's the four year old Malawian orphan girl who Madonna wants to adopt. The issue is Madonna. Whether their motive is revulsion, disgust, secret wish fulfillment, sexism, or just plain, garden variety envy, legions just flat out loathe Madonna. Or in the street vernacular, there's a thriving growth industry in playa hatin' on Madonna.

This writer became painfully aware of that after my piece "Madonna Deserves Cheers not Jeers for casting the ugly glare on Africa's adoption misery" hit the web. The calls, letters, emails, and shots from Madonna's sex book, and her onstage at times sado-masochistic antics poured in. The idea was to remind me that Madonna is an ego maniacal, crotch grabbing, whacked out onstage porno and fast buck exhibitionist who no one with a shred of decency could possibly think could be a fit mother, especially a fit mother to a black kid.

The rants were against me, Madonna, and those Malawians who cheered Madonna; which by the way as every poll and survey has shown is just about everyone in Malawi from top officials down to the beggar on the street to Mercy's grandparents, relatives and caregivers. They all applaud Madonna for taking a personal and humanitarian interest in Malawi's one million orphans.

The Madonna playa haters are absolutely unfazed by the millions of dollars that she has raised for her Raise Malawi organization. They pooh pooh the international attention that she's brought to a country that ranks near dead last on nearly every social and economic measure for developing countries. This is a country which nearly all the Madonna loathers thought was another way of saying Malarky, hadn't heard of and couldn't find on a map before Madonna tossed the spotlight on the dire poverty in the country. The haters air brush off Madonna's plans to bankroll a school for orphan girls in the country.

They wave away the reminder that Madonna, outside of President Obama, is the most over-exposed celebrity on the planet and hardly needs to snatch away an African orphan to get some cheap pub. They turn the tinniest ear to this rejoinder; OK, so other than yap that Madonna has turned Africa into what the hater's brand a rich closet bigotted white woman's plaything, have you contributed money, written letters to elected officials, volunteered to work with relief agencies, or tried to sponsor an African orphan?

Madonna's brash, sassy, and high energy in your face style and persona has long sent the clear message that she was her own woman. She turned sensuality into a badge of fierce independence and pride, the trademark of defiance. This has always sent the pack of Madonna haters spinning into orbit. The issue is not and never has been Madonna and Malawi's orphans. The issue is and always will be Madonna. It's a playa hater's delight.

:thumbsup:

This writer speaks the truth; the issue is Madonna and nothing more.

Madonna's rage over Malawi adoption wrangle

By David Jeffs

DEVASTATED Madonna last night left Malawi raging:" I can't believe I'm leaving my beautiful baby behind."

The Queen of Pop let rip after losing a court battle to adopt a second African orphan.

Madonna, 50, told aides:" It's not right. I love that baby girl. I thought I'd be bringing her back today.

" She's my little girl - she needs to be with me." Madge is due to land at Heathrow later today with children Lourdes, 12, Rocco, eight, and adopted Malawian David, three.

And she is expected to stay at her London home while her lawyers appeal against a judge's refusal to let her adopt little Mercy James.

The three-year-old had stayed with her at a lodge in Malawi during the court hearing.

A source said:" They were inseparable and the two of them really bonded.

" You could see the look of despair on Madonna's face as she left the lodge - she was heartbroken."

The source added:" Her mood flickers between anger, shock and utter disbelief." If the appeal fails, Madge is set to try to adopt a slum-baby in India.

Ex-hubby Guy Ritchie, 40, insists he backs her dream of giving Mercy a home.

And he said in a statement yesterday:" She's a great mum." But his dad John claimed Guy would be" very relieved" by the court ruling - made because Madonna had not lived in Malawi for at least 18 months before the case.

John, 78, of Kensington, west London, said:" When they were together he was never in favour of adopting a second child - which caused tensions.

" He made it clear he was happy with the family he had."

Clearly Madonna should have Mercy

Madonna may be rich, white, bossy and veiny, but that's no reason to presume she wouldn't make a good mother for a needy Malawian child, says Jemima Lewis.

By Jemima Lewis

04 Apr 2009

Relax, everybody: crisis averted. Madonna will not be adding any more African babies to her collection – at least, not this week. A Malawian court has rejected the muscle-bound matron of pop's application to adopt three-year-old Chifundo, or "Mercy", James.

Madonna was turned down on a technicality: prospective parents are supposed to live in Malawi for 18 to 24 months before taking delivery of their orphan. This didn't seem to matter so much in 2006, when she simply flew in, tucked her first adoptee, David Banda, under her arm, and flew out again. But this time, the courts felt they could no longer ignore the chorus of outrage from child welfare nit-pickers, and plain old Madonna-haters, who accused her of using her money and fame to bend the law.

Even if this is true (and she denies it), it seems to me a pretty venial sin. For a child of Mercy's age, 18 months is an agonisingly long time to wait for anything – let alone a new home. Research shows beyond question that the younger a child is when adopted, the better its chances of settling happily into its new family.

Madonna is not a patient person nor, in this instance, should she be. She has known Mercy for two years. It should not take so long to assess the suitability of a prospective parent (especially one whose entire adult life has been minutely chronicled).

Except that Madonna can be, and routinely is, excoriated for the most common place of failings. She's a single mother, say her detractors – as if such moral outlaws were unheard of outside celebrity bohemia. She has a career, and relies on nannies to pick up the slack. So do I, but no one has yet branded me an unfit mother.

On the scale of undesirable parents, we're hardly talking Michael Jackson, for heaven's sake. She's just a bit bossy and veiny. She is also rich, white and American – which doesn't go down well with the racial purists who have come to dominate child welfare ideology.

Mercy, they say, should be adopted by relatives. Nice idea, if they showed any interest in doing so. Her unmarried mother died shortly after she was born; her father has made himself scarce. She is in an orphanage precisely because her remaining relatives won't look after her.

Are we really to believe she will be better off growing up without a loving family, in a country ravaged by Aids and poverty, rather than compromise her ethnic identity?

Perhaps the best judge of that is David Banda's biological father, Yohane. After seeing his son last week for the first time in two years, Mr Banda declared himself delighted. "He is a big and healthy boy now. He could have died if he was still with me. Madonna is a kind woman; let's have more of such women to adopt our children."

We find dad of tot Mercy James, who Madonna wants to adopt

WORLD EXCLUSIVE by Thomas Chafunya in Malawi and Nick Owens 4/04/2009

And James Kambewa warns the pop star 'hands off I'm going to raise her'

Madonna's hopes of adopting “orphan” Mercy James were dealt another major blow last night when the Sunday Mirror tracked down a man who claims to be the child’s long-lost father.

One source said: “If Madonna can persuade Mercy’s father that she will have a better life with her than in Malawi then perhaps the courts will take a different view.”

One source said: “If Madonna can pour in more cash in Malawi then perhaps the courts will take a different view.” :bad:

Madonna adoption: Mercy's Malawian uncle condemns judge's decision

The judge who stopped Madonna from adopting an African girl has been condemned by the child's uncle.

By Mike Pflanz in Nairobi

Peter Baneti, the uncle of three-year-old Mercy James, said the child's Malawian relations were deeply unhappy that the orphan would now miss out on a life of luxury and privilege as part of the 50-year-old singer's extended family.

"We don't understand the judge's reasoning," Mr Baneti, 41, told The Sunday Telegraph in Lilongwe, Malawi's capital.

Madonna 'applies to adopt second child from Malawi'

Madonna is a 'great mum' says Guy Ritchie after adoption bid fails"We as a family discussed this and agreed that it is in the best interests of Mercy to have her adopted, so why should the judge stop this if the family is OK with it?"

Mr Baneti said Judge Esmie Chombo, who threw out Madonna's adoption application on Friday, had denied his niece the chance of a new life away from the Kondanani orphanage where she is now living.

He was scathing about the judge, who had said she would not bend strict residency rules even for a wealthy foreign celebrity.

"Does she know what it means to be poor? Does she know life in an orphanage? How can she say Mercy is better off at Kondanani?" Mr Baneti said.

"We are very disappointed. We hope that the Supreme Court will overturn her ruling."

Madonna's lawyer Alan Chinula immediately lodged an appeal against Mrs Justice Chombo's decision, which is likely to be heard later this week.

On Saturday night the star was still staying at the luxury Kumbali Lodge outside Lilongwe with her two children, Lourdes, 12, and Rocco, eight, and David Banda, the three-year-old Malawian boy she adopted in 2006.

All 13 rooms at the hotel, including nine thatched chalets, had been booked for her 15-strong entourage of assistants, nannies – including one for Mercy – and even a child psychologist.

The singer reacted with astonishment when she was told of the decision by her lawyer and stormed out of the hotel room where her lawyer informed her. Mercy, whose Malawian name is Chifundo, had been staying with Madonna at the hotel for the last week and had already been introduced to her children while the judge considered her ruling.

Yesterday she was hosting a small party in the lodge's forested grounds. Government officials, staff from her Raising Malawi charity, and other visitors were seen arriving during the afternoon.

Malawians, who have followed the case intently, have been divided about the judge's decision. Human rights groups had argued that allowing Madonna to adopt the child would encourage trafficking and perhaps even attract Western paedophiles.

But messages on social networking sites in Malawi were overwhelmingly in favour of Madonna.

"We have had hundreds of calls about this, and most of our listeners seem to be supporting the adoption," said Mary Innocencia Segula, a chat show host on Lilongwe's Capital Radio.

"There is a feeling that Chifundo would have had a very comfortable life with Madonna, and why should she be denied that just because some children's activists want to raise their own profile and get money?"

Grace Kamoto, 29, who sells fruit from a wooden stall on the road close to Madonna's luxury lodge, said: "We know that she is already giving a lot of money to this country's orphans.

"This would not stop if she was allowed to take the little girl away with her. It does not make sense that she was allowed to have David Banda and now she cannot take Mercy.

"We have been talking about this a lot. We can only pray that Madonna does not now become angry with Malawi and stop the money coming to help all the orphans."

Malawi's laws state that adoptive parents must be living in the country for at least 18 months, so that government child welfare officers can monitor them to confirm that they are suitable to adopt. There was disapproval in the deeply-religious country a recent divorcee adopting a child. Some Christian Malawians had been upset to learn that until a few weeks ago the star had been dating a 22-year-old male model called Jesus.

But Madonna is widely liked in Malawi for funding several orphanages and plans to build a school for more of Malawi's one million orphans, many of whose parents have died rom Aids-related illnesses. She first travelled there to film a documentary and afterwards spoke movingly of being inspired by the human spirit she encountered despite grinding poverty.

"Madonna should see this decision in a positive manner, not a negative one" said Mavuto Bamisa, director of the Human Rights Consultative Committee, one of the rights groups which had opposed the adoption.

"She has been doing tremendous work in Malawi supporting many children here, and perhaps she should continue with that model instead of taking just one or two children away. Her work here will help many more children.

"The best interest of the child, in our opinion, does not come about by taking her away from her own cultural, ethnic and religious environment, unless it is the absolute last resort."

Mr Bamisa said that Madonna's earlier adoption of David may now be investigated because the judge who approved it had waived the stipulation that a parent must be resident in Malawi in order to qualify to adopt.

"There was a waiver made in the David Banda case where Malawian government officials travelled to London to monitor David during the course of the interim adoption," he said. "This was an impromptu arrangement which the judge in this case did not want to see happen. We will be looking again at the David Banda case."

Mr Chinula, Madonna's lawyer said: "This won't affect David. Judge Andrew Nyirenda okayed David's adoption and this judgement cannot stop it."

He added: "We are appealing to the Supreme Court because we think Judge Chombo erred in basing her judgment on archaic laws from over 50 years ago.

"Laws must be dynamic. In any case this is not Malawi's first inter-country adoption. There have been plenty of others."

But child psychiatrist Dr. Stewart Chipendo blamed those human rights campaigners who were against Madonna's adoption of being motivated by politics.

"They want to feel good about themselves by saying 'We have frustrated a big star; we have stopped a big star from adopting. This is selfish," he said.

I totally agree with you. I never bought his statement either, he was never up for this adoption so why would he back Madonna on this now.

That doesn't surprise me; I didn't believe the sincerity of his statement. He did it cuz it made him look good PR-vice, nothing more.

Madonna has left Malawi after being rebuffed in her attempt to adopt a second child from the African nation, according to air traffic officials.

The officials say the singer left on her private Gulfstream jet headed for London. Police roadblocks prevented reporters from approaching the airport but one police officer also said Madonna carried David, her adopted Malawian son, up the steps to the plane.

The singer's lawyer has said that she will appeal against a court ruling that she is not eligible to adopt a 3-year-old orphan girl because she has not lived in Malawi.

Yeah, I know. He went on in his statement about M's motherly ability, and made it seem like it was questioned by the judge or something. The only issue that was a problem for the judge is the residency and nothing more.

He also said: "This time it did not work out, but there will be other opportunities..."

Why would he say that it didn't work out – like it's a done deal or something, and in the same day M's lawyer lodged the note of an appeal! He - of all people - knows how determined M is and for how long and how badly she wanted to adopt this girl.

Too bad most people don't recognize this pretense and don't see through the BS.

"Does she know what it means to be poor? Does she know life in an orphanage? How can she say Mercy is better off at Kondanani?" Mr Baneti said.

"We are very disappointed. We hope that the Supreme Court will overturn her ruling."

If the appeal is indeed lodged in the Supreme Court, it means that it's dealt with a different judge. I hope it's correct as I don't see her having any chance with this judge.

I don't see anything wrong with what Guy said. The court didn't question her fitness as a mother, but lots of people in the British media were. That's was what he was responding to when he said she was a great mom.

Also, he probably wasn't aware she was appealing or an appeal was possible.

His own dad let it accidentally slip that he was actually "very relieved" be the ruling. Which makes his statement about him being "saddened" a lie. He never wanted this adoption, as was also mentioned there.

He's defending her motherly ability, as if they were questioned by the judge - there was no need to bring it. The residency issue is the only thing headlined.

M's lawyer made a statement just a few hours later that she's appealing. His statement came later that day. He also knew how badly and for how long she wanted to adopt that girl. Most of all, he knows how determined M is and surely won't stop there, so why make a statement like it's a down deal when it's still very much an ongoing process?!

His statement does him good in the PR department; not her.

Guy's not responsible for what his father says. Just because Guy didn't want another child, doesn't mean he isn't sincere in saying that he was upset for Madonna for being denied the adoption of Mercy since he knew she wanted a child.

I don't want to adopt children or get pregnant, that doesn't mean I don't feel for people who want to have children and are denied that opportunity for whatever reason if that's what they want.

Guy is probably busy with his life, and he doesn't have time to keep up on every detail of the adoption. I know the appeal was announced, but he may not have been aware of it since the announcement only came a few hours before. So I'm sure that was a harmless error, and not done with some bad intention.

As far as it being a PR statement for him, it's unlikely he was the one that sought out the media, but they contacted him. When some celebrity is involved in some controversy, the media often tries to contact their ex-partners in the hope that the ex-partners will be bitter and say something terrible about that person. I'm sure Guy realizes how tabloids work especially when you are dealing with someone like Madonna who is a big tabloid target.

Of course Guy's not responsible for every thing his dad says to the media; if he was, he would've made sure his old man wouldn't made that mistake of revealing that he's actually very relieved by the ruling.

He shouldn't have made a statement like that as declaring as it's a done deal; not before M herself tells him or makes a statement that she's not going along with the process. Also, M isn't exactly the kind of person to just "drop it" or "move on" and he of all people knows it. He also knows how strong-minded she is and how she wanted this; he knows her and that she won't just drop it like that, that very same day, after the ruling.

I do agree with you about the fact that Guy now knows how the tabloids work, as he seems to handle it pretty well.

Madonna leaves Malawi after adoption setback

LILONGWE, Malawi (AP) - Madonna left Malawi on her private jet Sunday after being rebuffed in an attempt to adopt a second child from the poor African nation, air traffic control officials said.

Police roadblocks prevented reporters from approaching the airport but one police officer said Madonna carried David, her adopted Malawian son, up the steps of the Gulfstream jet.

It was bound for London's Gatwick Airport, air traffic officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to journalists.

The singer's lawyer has said that she will appeal against a court ruling that she is not eligible to adopt a three year old orphan girl, Chifundo "Mercy" James, because she hasn't lived in Malawi.

Madonna first spotted Mercy during a 2006 visit to an orphanage where she found David. Then, unlike now, she was able to leave the country with the infant and the adoption was completed last year.

But now Madonna is a single mother after her split from film director Guy Ritchie. Her attempts to adopt a second child caused outrage among some child welfare groups.

In a ruling Friday, Judge Esme Chombo said Madonna did not meet Malawi's strict definition of "resident." Noting that Madonna had last visited Malawi in 2008, the judge said the pop star "jetted into the country during the weekend just days prior to the hearing of this application."

Malawi requires prospective parents to live in the country for 18 to 24 months while child welfare authorities assess their suitability - a rule that was bent when Madonna was allowed to take David to London in 2006. Madonna has two other children, Lourdes, 12, and Rocco, 8.

No date has been set for a court hearing to appeal the judge's ruling.

Madonna threw a farewell party Saturday at the luxury lodge where she was staying. Traditional dancers entertained guests including government officials and staff from Madonna's Raising Malawi charity.

The charity helps feed, educate and provide medical care for some of Malawi's more than 1 million orphans, half of whom have lost parents to AIDS.

Madonna to Malawi Officials: Let's Party!

Posted Apr 4th 2009 12:00PM by TMZ Staff

0404_madonna2.jpg

Madonna is throwing a party in Malawi which is the oddest response to being told you're unfit to adopt, or it's a brilliant last ditch ditch effort to influence the appeal process.

Government officials and staff members of Raising Malawi charity are on the guest list for the event, along with traditional dancers. No word if the judge who denied Madge will attend.

Madonna's lawyer said she will appeal Friday's judgment that she could not adopt a 3-year-old girl because she had not been a resident in Malawi.

This massive party looks like the start of her appeal, at least socially.
