We can engage in the important debate over the ethics of international adoption and of 'misunderstandings' in parts of Africa in particular, or we can stay out of it. At least last I checked with a “source close to the family.”

Insofar as she can keep up with her job as Mom, Madonna is a parent to three minors.
