Madonna considering second Malawi adoption
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 17 March 2009
Madonna is apparently considering adopting another Malawian child to be a “brother or sister” for David Banda, the Malawian boy who, of course, she and ex-husband Guy Ritchie adopted in 2006 (well, adopted in the legal documents sense last year).
She’s apparently told Malawi newspaper Nation that she sees herself as a “role model” for people adopting children from the African country, but adds that she will only adopt from the country with the support of the nation’s authorities. As much previously reported, at the time of David’s adoption some groups in Malawi argued that Madonna had circumvented the country’s adoption laws and misled the boy’s living father regarding the implications of adoption.
She’s quoted thus: “Adopting another child is something I have been considering but I would only do so if I had the support of the Malawian people and the government. Many people – especially our Malawian friends – say that David should have a Malawian brother or sister”.
