Madonna Goes to Oprah....

First of all Madonna didn't even realized she'd upset anyone when she went over to adopt Baby David. She only found out once she went back home and entered the airport to be greeted by hundreds of news crews and reporters. During the interview with Oprah, Madonna told the story of how she came about finding Baby David.

Madonna and Guy had planned on adopting two years ago, just they had no clue where they would go about it. In fact they even began the procedures in California to adopt, but during some footage that Madonna was working on she saw Little David and quickly became attached. She had no clue of his health, only that those little eyes wanted her. Once she arrived at Malawi she found out the infant had been by himself in the orphange since he was two years old. It took a bit of time to locate his biological father, which was a must in order for the adoption to go through. Madonna was able to talk with him and ask him for permission, at this time he had agreed, explaining he'd always hoped by putting his son up for adoption he'd have a better life.

However, it would only be a matter of days before he changed his mind. Madonna believes the media is what changed his mind. Which I do too. She explains how she isn't mad, but disappointed and hopes that this doesn't change the minds of those that may have considered adopting. This was a very heartfelt interview, with a new mom that is just trying to make one child have a happier life than he would've in an orphange.
