Celebrity Moms Who Adopted

Serial adopter Angelina Jolie may get most of the press, but she's far from being the only celeb to become a mama through adoption. A slew of stars we love have done the same. Check out our list of fabulous adoptive moms -- and their lucky kids.

Madonna

Best known for: Being the Material Girl, a music mega-star, a world-famous fashion icon, and a reinvention artist extraordinaire.

Adopted child: Son David Banda Mwale Ciccone Ritchie

Adoption details: David was born September 24, 2005, in Malawi, Africa; Madonna and soon-to-be-ex-hubby Guy Ritchie brought him to their home in England on October 16, 2006, at a little over a year old. Madonna and Ritchie were required to serve as foster parents for 18 months before legally adopting David in 2008.

Other kids: Daughter Lourdes (aka Lola) born in 1996 (dad is trainer Carlos Leon); son Rocco born in 2000. Rocco's dad is Brit film director Ritchie (Snatch; Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels; and Swept Away, starring the missus.)

What you don't know: Because of the lack of adoption laws in Malawi, Madonna was advised against adopting there, but did so anyway after seeing footage of David as part of a documentary that she was producing about Malawian orphans. "This adoption was the beginning of adoption laws in Malawi," she's said. "I'm happy to be the guinea pig."
