Mercy and Lourdes are stunning; David is really handsome as well.

I'm very liberal, and also strict with my kids. I don't see the connection.

I agree. That was an incredibly stupid statement; by accounts Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Garner, Sandra Bullock, etc are somewhat or leaning politically liberal or just in general but are strict with their kids. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive.

Well, they could have languished in an orphanage until they were adults. Thinking the older rich woman adoption thing was a better option for them.

Me, too.

It's to her credit that most of us were unaware of it. She doesn't use them as PR props, and there haven't been any reported scandals of bad behavior.

There was one scandal with her biological son with Guy Ritchie - well, not a scandal but some kind of custody issue. Apparently her son went to England to be with his dad and wouldn't come back. Not sure how it resolved.

I think it doesn't serve her well to cling so desperately to her sex symbol persona - she's had so much work done on her face to that if I walked by her on the street I might not even recognize her. It's wonderful that she's still vital and creating and performing but I'd like to see her evolve in a different direction, I guess.

But she's never seemed like a relatable, down-to-earth person in the sense that she's always been a bit affected.
She's an icon, for sure.

To be for my four year old makes the same face in every picture. Just to be difficult.

The same with my 6 year old. Especially if she's asked to pose for a family photo.

At fifty-nine her looks and career have hit the skids.

Maybe she adopted her children for publicity.

Hopefully not a 'la Joan Crawford.

I had no clue she had that many adopted children. I knew about probably one from Malawi, but that's it

The younger kids do not look happy

Its probably a very cool family but I have so many questions.

They probably think it's better than being an orphan in a poor nation. I'm no fan of hers, but there are parents in the DMV with one kid that the au pairs are raising. You don't see the parents at BTSN, soccer games, or sleepovers because they are chasing the almighty dollar. The nannies are taking kids to dental appointments and tucking them in at night.

I believe one of the kids she "adopted" has parents.

I like Madonna. But I don't know how anyone can raise six kids well. I am sure she is a busy lady. It just seems like it would be overwhelming.

I thought she lived in NY. Lourdes went to high school there before she went to college at Michigan.
