Madonna goes to motherland of her adopted son · 2007-04-15 14:40
Madonna is due to arrive in Malawi, the African country where her adopted son David Banda was born.
The singer is said to be taking David with her to see his natural father.
She says the main purpose of her trip is to see the work of a charity she supports, and denies reports that she plans to adopt a second African child, BBC informs.
The 48-year-old London-based American pop star sparked a furore when she adopted one-year-old David from an orphanage last year.
She was accused by adoption groups of using her celebrity status to bypass laws about foreigners adopting from Malawi – allegations she strenuously denied.
Speaking before Madonna set off for Malawi, her spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said: “She is overseeing the building of a children’s healthcare centre. She is absolutely not adopting another baby.”
David is living with Madonna and her family in London, after the pop star was granted an interim custody order.
As well as her adopted son, Madonna has a 10-year-old daughter, Lourdes, and a six-year-old son, Rocco. She is married to British film director Guy Ritchie.
