Madonna still talking about adoption drama

Pop beauty Madonna claims the average person doesn't care that she has adopted a Malawi
baby.
The 48-year-old singer has blamed the media for the furore over her adoption
of 13-month-old David and accused the UK media of nationalism and racism.
Madonna told Time magazine: "There's a lot of Brits - reporters on the
street - who've said, 'Why don't you adopt a kid from Britain?' Or, 'Why did
you adopt a black child?'

"But when you throw in things like I'm a celebrity and I somehow got special
treatment, or make the implication of kidnapping, it gets mixed into a stew,
and it sells lots of papers.
"What they should care about is that there are over a million orphans in
Malawi."
Last week, Madonna - who is married to British film director Guy Ritchie -
described the first time her two children, Rocco and Lourdes, met their new
brother.
She said: "He arrived at seven o'clock in the morning and the children were
getting ready for school. We were all in the kitchen and the door opened, it
was just really quiet and my nanny walked in carrying David and the children
just ran to him. Lola grabbed him and held him and it was just this strange
quiet moment. It was amazing."

In other news, Madonna is taking her new son to visit her father - who is battling cancer.
The singer is preparing to take 13-month-old David to see dad Tony Ciccone
at the Leelanau County Hospital, in Michigan
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Madonna is keen to introduce
David to his granddad - although the circumstances are less than ideal. At
the moment the prognosis from the doctors is as good as can be expected.
"It's a shame that the family are going through this secret sadness when it
should have been a joyful time with the new baby."
Tony has been diagnosed with colon cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy
treatment.
Madonna has decided to take her three children - David, Rocco and Lourdes -
to see Tony while he is still in good health.
The star has endured a troubled relationship with her father
since he remarried after her mother died when Madonna was five.
Madonna upset devout Catholic Tony with her overtly sexual persona during
the 80s and 90s. The pair were reunited when Madonna eventually settled down
and married British film director Guy Ritchie.
During her 2004 'Re-Invention' tour they became closer than they had been in
years.
