	Madonna and child - The Madonna interview - MSNBC.com
		Madonna: With all the chaos, pain and suffering in the world, the fact that my adoption of a child from who was living in an orphanage, you know, was the number one story for a week in the world. To me, that says more about our inability to focus on the real problems.
		Madonna: I said, “Well, does that mean that you can adopt a child if there’s a living parent?” And they said as long as you get a written consent. And even then, I was a little bit freaked out about it. Like, “I don’t wanna take anybody’s child away from them,” you know.
		Madonna says she believes part of the reason she came under such heavy criticism was because of the color of David’s skin.

	personal political: madonna's new child
		I almost hate to join in with the chorus of criticism of Madonna - not that I haven't said and written critical things about her in my time (I was an early fan and have seen her in concert more than once but have had strong misgivings about her in recent years).
		However, translocation of a vulnerable child removed from any surviving family and culture into another world, has got to have some impact on their psyche.
		I don't necessarily criticize Madonna and Guy for intl adoption per se, or even for the presence of a living relative in the child's life.

	Madonna's Child - October 31, 2006 - The New York Sun (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Madonna's forthcoming adoption of baby David from Malawi has sparked much controversy with the public as well as in the adoption community.
		A political scenario could develop, where before the adoption becomes final, Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie are forced to return to his birth country an older David, who has developed an attachment to Madonna.
		Like many child advocates, my knee-jerk reaction was that Madonna not only bypassed local and international laws, but overlooked the children waiting to be adopted who live within a few miles of her New York or California homes.

	Madonna with Child by BELLINI, Giovanni
		The series of "Madonna and Child" paintings, which constitute one of the most distinctive themes in Bellini's art, was started in his youthful years.
		Their execution and multiplication in the decades to come was the fruit of a considerable contribution by the busy workshop that would collaborate with the painter and to which some of the Madonnas, signed with the master's name for reasons of prestige, must be at least partially attributed.
		The still harsh Madonna and Child of the Museo Civico Malaspina in Pavia must be ascribed to around 1450-55.

	Madonna and child - Viewpoint
		Madonna had let it be known that her daughter, Lourdes, was not allowed to watch television because Madonna believed it was a bad influence.
		Perhaps, I remarked to a friend of mine, what Madonna was really worried about was that Lourdes might turn on MTV and happen across her mother's "Erotica" video.
		If Madonna's raunchy videos would be disturbing to her daughter, my friend countered, it was not her fault, but the fault of our society for teaching her daughter that sex is something to be ashamed of.

		Painted about 1300, the Metropolitan Madonna is the opening page of the most glorious chapter of Duccio’s art, culminating in his great Maestà altarpiece (1308–11), a milestone of Western art that is comparable only to Giotto’s frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua.
		Although small in size, the Metropolitan’s newly acquired Madonna and Child is a landmark of European painting.
		The Madonna is shown as though standing behind a parapet—a device that simultaneously connects and separates the timeless, hieratic realm of the divine figures and the real space and time of the viewer.

	The Madonna in Majesty (Maestà) by CIMABUE
		The iconography is frequent in medieval painting and represents the Madonna enthroned with Child and angels, a pattern commonly said Maestà as shows the Virgin as Queen of Paradise.
		This Madonna, which is similar in structure to the same artist's Madonna at the Louvre and Duccio's Ruccelai Madonna, still shows the influence of the Byzantine tradition.
		There is, however, an unprecedented tension in the profiles and in the attempt to create spatial depth, which is rendered by superimposing the figures and in the concave structure at the base of the throne behind the figures of the prophets.

		I am disturbed that personalities such as Madonna and Angelina Jolie, who have great power with the tides of change and influence, are stroking their egos by trotting around the globe scooping up random 3rd world children to adopt.
		Since people like Jolie and Madonna can’t politcally be like “I dont like the president” or voice major opinions about politics without their ratings being cut in half, they do other things that imply their politics by adopting from really poor countries.

		From the moment Madonna's private jet landed in Lilongwe, Malawi's capital, earlier this month and departed last Friday, the southern African country has become divided over whether her adoption of a 13-month-old boy named David is in the child's best interests and whether the singer received special treatment by the government's adoption authorities.
		The High Court granted Madonna an interim order approving the adoption, under the condition that she be monitored over the next 18 months.
		"Child adoption is also a rights issue, and these NGOs do not seem to understand that as government we have both a moral and ethical obligation to mitigate the plight of children.

		The Madonna and Child appear in Serrano’s photograph as a clouded yet radiant symbol of the Mater Amabilis, the maternal Virgin Mary embracing the Christ child.
		Submerged in a luminous amber liquid that diffuses light and softens details, the small figurine appears greatly enlarged, composed to emphasize the infant’s gesture as he turns to his mother.
		Just left of center, a mucilaginous bubble connects the child’s forehead to his mother’s cheek, evoking a corporeal, in-utero connection, as if the two, held tenuously by the gluey spume, wait together in the womb for uncertain deliverance.
