The pop star carried the motherless 1-year-old boy she planned to make her own and chatted with his father, who said he was happy for his son and the celebrity couple. Kingston Kilembe, director of child welfare services in the Ministry of Gender, Child Welfare and Community Services, said Madonna and her film director husband, Guy Ritchie, filed adoption papers before a judge at the Lilongwe High Court. "They have followed the normal processes.
This has been going on for some time. Now this is the completion point," he said. Kilembe said the judge would review the papers signed by Yohame Banda, father of 1-year-old David, whose mother died a month after childbirth of childbirth complications.
"After the judge has ruled they are going to take the child," Kilembe said. Banda said he met Madonna and Ritchie at the court as part of the formalities. While they talked, Madonna, who has two children, carried the baby boy.
"They are a lovely couple. She asked me many questions. She and her husband seem happy with David.
I am happy for him. Madonna promised me that as the child grows she will bring him back to visit," Banda said.
