		<description><![CDATA[Hey Ethopian Queen,
Thank you so much stopping by Nightly Candy!
Thanks for the compliments.
I agree with you wholeheartedly on the Madonna issue. She is set to go back to
Malawai with her expensive legal team to demand Mercy. I am not sure if the government
will be able to resist the $$$$ and other incentives she will use to bribe them this time around.
I hope they stick to their guns.
As for the supposed father of Mercy who has surfaced. I pray that he is the real
father and not some opportunist. That would be extremely embarrassing and not to mention 
Speaking of embarrassing and sad:
to respond to your comment about the South African who has been posting trite comments regarding this blog post.
I just feel bad for them. They responded AGAIN with a trite comment and I &lt;strong&gt;ignored&lt;/strong&gt; it. 
I&#039;m only interested in individuals who have commentary to share not childish things.
Please]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love this blog!
As a native of East Africa I am offended by Madonna&#039;s audacity.
She thinks her money can buy her everything including an African child.
I stand by the Malawian govenerment&#039;s decision to deny her adoption and I pray they do the same again. It is time African countries took a stand to say to the world they cannot be bought so easily.

I enjoyed reading the comments but was really shocked by the comment the South African of all people made. It&#039;s really sad. To each their own. As an African myself I can confidently say that my friends and family are against rich white celebrities adopting African children.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;em&gt;  &quot; You all just leave Madonna alone because you all are &lt;strong&gt;jalouse&lt;/strong&gt; &quot;&lt;/em&gt;

I&#039;m serious that was a direct quote from a reader.
 I don&#039;t want to put his name to further embarrass him. It is clear as crystal that this person probably could not fully comprehend the blog post.  &lt;em&gt;jealousy &lt;/em&gt;?? (BTW that is how you spell it ) if you had the cerebral intellect to comprehend the context of this post it would be easy to determine that concern for stereotyping Africa was the main point. &lt;em&gt;Jealousy&lt;/em&gt; has nothing to do with it and quite frankly is the &quot;go to&quot; for all the illiterates for some reason.
I would have expected more respectful and witty banter from a South African.

I am so glad the government of Malawi told Madonna to shove it!
I do admit that my views of Africa have been totally misrepresented by the images I have seen on TV!
You&#039;ve inspired me to step outside the box. I didn&#039;t think I&#039;d get that from a blog post.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Debra...

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on Madge and her quest for snatching up another African baby with Nightly Candy!
As I know you are well aware of at this point, the Malawian government has DENIED the Material Mamma!
I am sure she nearly had a coronary when that news dropped in her lap! She never in her wildest dreams think she would EVER hear the word NO from Malawi!
Their decision totally makes sense. There is a residency requirement for all International applicants. There was no way that Madge was going to inconvenience and complicate her life by moving to Malawi for a year and some change. 
I don&#039;t think it&#039;s so cool to get a baby from a place you would never live....
Better luck next time Madge..

		<description><![CDATA[I have to say I have mixed emotions on this one. I think the government is to blame. They should have honored their policies. Now they want to change them. I get tired of Angelina being brought into any and every discussion on adoption. Meg Ryan adopted, Hugh Jackman, Sharon Stone, and so many others. So I don&#039;t think one celeb adoption should be compared to any other. I  think Madonna wants to help. Does that make her a bad person.. I don&#039;t think so. I think the government enjoyed her money and the attention she brought to the country, now they want to let the world know that they are standing by the policies they had in place.  Well it is obvious they did not when she adopted David. Perhaps she should move on. I just think she should not adopt children who have family alive and willing to care for them. She should have adopted orphans. That it the main problem I have with this situation.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey Lashae,

It&#039;s always a pleasure to receive your thoughts on &lt;strong&gt;Nightly Candy.&lt;/strong&gt;
This is quite the story indeed.
At the end of the day Madonna will get the little girl (whose name is Mercy) to add to her collection of kids. The fact that she is a superstar with millions is too much for the Malawian government to ignore even if she isn&#039;t well suited to be a parent.  The saddest thing is that both David and Mercy have one parent that is living. Madonna is snatching these children out of their natural habitat to have them be raised by a team of nannies?? It is one thing if she has officially &quot;retired&quot; and has all the time in the world. BUT this woman has NO INTENTION of retiring or spending quality time with her new kids.
Recently Madonna just fired  David&#039;s nanny before she could get the words out &quot;I quit!&quot; The sacked Nanny wrote just a &lt;em&gt;little&lt;/em&gt; on her Facebook page BEFORE Madonna gave her the axe about how horrible it was to work for the Material Mamma. 
http://silverscorpio.com/nanny-reveals-strain-of-working-with-madonna/
Out of respect for Madonna and confidentiality papers I am sure she signed before she started working the nanny didn&#039;t reveal much on Facebook. I am sure if she could have revealed the truth it would be a FRIGHT. Perhaps Madonna would loose all her kids. Who knows?? I shudder to think!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Nightly, I saw this in the news and I&#039;m torn on this issue with her.  On one hand, if she is doing this sincerely then more power to her and her children. But if I believe like many that this for publicity then she is just a woman who is doing anything (even getting children involved) to keep her self in the public eye than that is a shame for anyone especially women.I loved Madonna in her hayday (like the 80s) and now she puts out bad music and dating all these men...for what? She still an 50 year old woman with 4 kids to take of.  

I was reading somewhere else and someone brought up a good point, why are they allowing her to adopt when she is 50 years old?  Isn&#039;t that too old to be adopting children?  Just a thought.]]></description>
