The child has been cared for at the Home of Hope Orphan Care Centre in a village close to the border with Zambia, after his mother died a month after his birth from related complications. The boy's father, Yohame Banda, has agreed to the adoption.
Madonna said she had travelled to the region with Ritchie to help fight poverty and the problem of HIV and Aids. She has pledged to donate about $3m (?1.
6m) to help 900,000 orphans in Malawi. The 48-year-old already has two children, five-year-old son Rocco and nine-year-old daughter Lourdes.
