Now that JT is back in the states, Madonna can get back to her other passions, like taking care of her family and working out. Fitness has always been a huge part of her life, just check out these insane then and now pics of her running. As for her home life, things will probably be a bit more stressful than the gym for the next month or so - Madonna and Guy will be getting a visit from the head of child welfare services in Malawi to check on David Banda. The official will stay with the family for up to 5 days and his assessment will determine whether or not Madge can permanently adopt David, based on whether or not her lifestyle affects him psychologically. Growing up in the limelight can't be easy for any celebrity baby, but we're keeping our fingers crossed that Madonna will be able to keep the little one she obviously loves so much.

I hate her. Medusa is gross.
1I wish I looked as great as Madonna does when I'm out exercising.
2Wow - i didn't know the adoption was still in progress..well good luck to them
3WHAT!!! It should have been over...what were they going to do, go and rip him out of his family life after almost a year!!!
4Uh oh...is this going to play out like Losing Isaiah?

6I can't believe how horrible this adoption process has gone. On every level it has been handled so terribly and has been bad for everyone directly involved and adoption in general. It is astounding that it has not been finalized yet. It must be terrifying to love little David and act as his mother and father while the whole time thinking he is going to be taken away from them! Sure life in the 'limelight' is not easy I am sure, but come on, who in their right mind thinks that returning to live in poverty, in an orphanage is better? That little cutie guy hit the jackpot when he was adopted by Madonna and Guy and to continue to risk that is soooooo cruel to the whole family.
7Somebody pls tell me why I feel bored already with this grandma? =P
She seems unable to succeed her adoption case.. I mean, for just a boy, for heaven's sake.. Angelina Jolie would've been had three other children by the time David joined the Ritchie-Ciccone familia
8oh yipee.
9I dislike her so much - why oh why does she want to adopt a baby - wait to make herself look good!
10Having a follow-up months later was always part of the deal. She was only granted temporary custody.
11adopting me?? hoo how didnt I knew it... ho
no, wait..
ho not me..
12nex time
I wish her all the best. She is an icon!
13Thats got to suck having a body that looks 20... and a face that look 60... Self denial is sooo pathetic!

@ Ndug
15WOW, you know some pretty young looking 60 year olds NduguN!
16luv her
17Boring!! What happened to her lust for stardom? Oh, right...she achieved world domination already. I still say she should do a Broadway musical...but on Broadway, you don't get paid the big bucks and you have to work 7 nights a week.
I'm 50/50 on this entertainer...yet there's something about her charisma that sucks me in.
18Are you sure that's Madonna? It looks like Julianne Moore. I saw a post of her on another website. She died her hair strawberry blonde and it looks just like her. http://icydk.com/2007/07/18/julianne-moore-goes-blonde/
19she adopted this kid because giving a f*ck about africa is cool right now. she doesn't want that kid, she wants publicicty.
20I hate her,pffffff realy annoying.
21..."that she obviously loves so much"?! I don't think that this was the matter of the adoption!
22I agree with NduguNStephie, self denial IS pathetic...
If Madonna wanted just to play cool adopting an African baby, she would choose one from another country, where the procedure is not so complicated, as Angie for example did! But she was aware of the problems of this temporary custody and despite all she took the step! She has the guts, ladies! I totally admire her!
23That would suck to be adopted into a family, then taken away once you'd settled in. Hope that doesn't happen to David
24She kept him for a relatively long time for the process not to be complete. I mean, I know she GOT him super quick but to have him this long without knowing if it was for keeps...
25I feel sorry for her that she can't handle aging well. She looks like an old hag playing dress-up half the time. Speaking of David, I bet he ends up so screwed up from being adopted by her. Guy and her will split eventually and with her fame and being such a controlling beast, the poor boy won't have a chance.
26I love Madonna and I feel like she is a genuinely good person. Her kids seem to be normal, well educated, well adjusted children so I think that she did the right thing by adopting David. Her and Guy were trying to have a child for a couple of years without suscess so I think that it is very kind of her to open her home to a less fortunate child. The whole Malawi adoption process takes a year before she can offically adopt him, thats so they can make sure that he is a good fit for the family and that she is doing the right thing for David. I love those sunglasses and I kick myself in the A** whenever I see her wearing them cuz I had them in my hand and didnt buy them. Ugh.
27me-yow. what's with all the 'grandma' comments? we all grow older one day.
28her kids seem fine, she doesn't tote them around like fashion accessories. she actually keeps them out of the limelight as much as she can...i don't think i could recognize her son and daughter.
i thought the adoption process was complete. this has to be one of the most f*cked up adoptions ever.
but hey, i wouldn't argue if she wanted to adopt me. is she in the market for an almost 27 year old?
29i actually feel sorry for David being adopted by her. poor kid...
30I hate her!!! LoL, medusa is scary!
31good luck to her,whatever her motives david will have a better life,
32I just wish they would make adopting kids in America fashionable. There are tons of kids here who need to be adopted as well...
33She WAS an icon, now she's just a has-been.
34if madona was born in america why does she put on that british accent? And what the heck? Shes not a has been she's a legend. I hate the girl but I'm not blinded by the truth.
35this is totally off the subject, but madonna wears the coolest work out clothes!!!
