2) If it's all that, Little Tyrone in Detroit or D.C. would be more than happy to be adopted, I'm sure. 3) On points 1 & 2, it's really easy to judge her. But I shouldn't.  | |

That would be wonderful for Little Tyrone. Unfortunately, a lot of children who might be adopted languish in foster care because of the American system's propensity to try to reunite children with their biological parents (even rotten biological parents) - no matter how long it takes. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

She doesn't even look like the same person anymore She's not wearing any makeup and it's a side angle so she looks a lil different. Her cheeks are classic signs of a facelift. The cheeks are pulled up and tightened during this hectic procedure. It was only a matter of time before she also went down the plastic fantastic road. | |

Been there done that. Genesia knows this story but I don't think I ever posted in the org.' The "system" returned the little boy hubby and I fostered along with all his brothers (there were 4 total AND the bitch had another baby WHILE the kids were all in foster) to destructive parents. All kids had very deep issues. Cody (the one we fostered, with plans to adopt) had the most. He came to us at 2 1/2 in pampers, still eating babyfood (no idea how to chew actual food), TERRIFIED of women (called them Monsters and called Policemen "Bad Man") no signs of intelligible speech...and on and on. We got him healthy and had him in all sorts of programs and were catching him up. NEVER did we think (or believe) that the system (or any sane person) could possibly send 4 children back to parents who kept them in a tiny trailer in the woods, beat on them and made them go out begging for food...let alone with having the audacity to pop another one while these were taken away. He was a safe, secure and happy child with us. ...but our wonderful system did just that. Having to hand him back over was one of the most heart-wrenching things we've ever had to do. Last we heard, Cody's oldest brother kept running away over and over for a few years. Now he's a daddy at 15. | |

Thanks for the adoption insights, y'all.
She still looks like Paula Cole, though...  | |

She doesn't even look like the same person anymore I don't think she looks like the same person, but I don't think she looks terrible either. Her face looks swollen to me - like the skin is too thick or something. | |

She doesn't even look like the same person anymore She's fifty though. And that's not a glamor shot or anything. I think most of what you see on her album covers and stage (after a thorough job with a makeup artist  ) isn't terribly genuine.
She doesn't look bad for 50 to me  She doesn't look too good either. | |

you and your hubby made me all hopefull... seriously.... much love, respect, and thanks. i had shitty foster parents who were doing it for the wrong reasons. i always make it a point to thank ANY foster/adoptiveparents, but ESPECIALLY those who do it for the right reasons. i wish i had been so lucky, but... end result not withstanding, he was a lucky boy. were it not for my health barring me, i would be an adoptive parent. it means the world to me, and you and hubby should be VERY proud for making a difference, even if it ended up on the wrong side of the law. you are tremendously selfless people, and i thank you for it.

I think it's terrible . Madonna tried to help this little girl and the people didn't appreciate her efforts and were Judging her instead. I think they are Stupid to make a child stay in an ORPHANAGE instead of being adopted by Madonna. If I was Madonna I would try to adopt a child some other place. I wonder if it was because this was a GIRL that they REFUSED her to LEAVE and also just cause Madonna is DIVORCED. They are ANTIQUATED People. Madonna shouldn't have to be Married in order to adopt a child. She could have really helped this child get a Great Education and better Lifestyle. | |
