Madonna to adopt again?
It's seemingly part of a plan to provide David Banda - the Malawian child that Madonna and Guy Ritchie made moves to adopt in 2006 - with a brother or sister of the same nationality. The singer told Nation readers last week, in response to emailed questions: "Many people - especially our Malawian friends - say that David should have a Malawian brother or sister. It's something I have been considering".
The adoption of David Banda did cause some controversy, of course, with critics accusing the Malawian government of overlooking laws banning foreign adoptions in light of Madonna's celebrity status. She may run into trouble again this time, given that the country's laws don't, as a rule, allow for adoption by a single or divorced person, and, as much previously reported, Madonna is now very much divorced. It may, however, be another legal issue she can side-step, and presumably the providing-David-with-a-sibling argument will wash a bit.
No comment from the Madonna camp.
