Moving from poverty at an orphanage in Malawi, 13-month-old David Banda is now surrounded by a world of celebrity and luxury. After landing at London's Heathrow airport, David was taken to the singer's home near Marble Arch and kept away from the hordes of waiting photographers and reporters. Madonna, 48, and her husband Guy Ritchie have secured a temporary 18-month custody order from the Malawi courts and hope to adopt him formally.
It is thought the baby arrived in the UK with a US visa stamped in his new passport, sparking speculation that he would be adopted under US law. Westminster Council, which covers the area where Madonna lives, said they "regularly" received applications from residents wishing to adopt from overseas.
