MADONNA TO MAKE OFFICIAL STATEMENT REGARDING ADOPTION REPORTS
LATEST: Superstar MADONNA will make an official statement regarding rumours she has adopted an African baby boy "within 48 hours", according to a representative of the singer.
Madonna and her director husband GUY RITCHIE arrived in Malawi last Wednesday (04OCT06) and have met local orphans and government ministers during their time there.
When rumours first surfaced last week that the couple were adopting a sibling for the singer’s daughter LOURDES and their son ROCCO, Madonna’s spokeswoman LIZ ROSENBERG said, "She has not adopted a baby - despite reports that she has." However, today’s (11OCT06) The Sun newspaper in Britain claims the MATERIAL GIRL has adopted a 13-month-old boy named DAVID BANDA, whose mother MARITA died shortly after his birth.
The tot’s father YOHANE BANDA, 32, told the paper, "I am very, very happy because as you can see there is poverty in this village and I know he will be very well looked after in America." When asked for comment by the Reuters news agency, a London-based spokeswoman for Madonna did not confirm or deny the adoption reports, but said, "At this time we are unable to give you official confirmation. We may have an official statement within 48 hours."
