"I fully supported Madonna in her decision to apply for this adoption, and I am saddened that her application has been rejected. She is motivated only by being a caring parent who seeks to share some of the advantages and opportunities that her life has given her," he said of his ex, who has appealed Friday's surprise ruling.

"This time it did not work out, but there will be other opportunities and I wish her well in them," Ritchie concluded. "She is a great mum."
Madonna and Ritchie -- who divorced last year after eight years of marriage -- adopted David Banda from Malawi in 2006.

Leslie2qtI'm sure Madonna is a great mother. Children are difficult enough without bringing them into single parent homes. It's sad that she created a relationship with a child that she couldn't adopt. Maybe she should work on adopting an older child. The world is full of teen orphins that need love also.report abuseposted April 9, 2009 1:34 PM PDT

LaCosaNostraIf you really want to show the world you dont care about SKIN color or race - Modonna you should have adopted an Iraqi baby from what the war caused. That is a bigger statement. Black people are doing fine now. They moved as far as you can be in the world. We need another front - Mid East babies.report abuseposted April 6, 2009 1:53 PM PDT
