That Madonna's been telling porky pies, if that recent statement from her people claiming she had no plans to adopt a Malawian child is anything to go by. Because she has, it seems, adopted a Malawian child. The one year old boy is not a complete orphan - his father is still alive, but his mother died from childbirth complications a month after the child was born. He was, however, being cared for at the Home of Hope Orphan Care Centre in the Malawian village of Mchinji. Yohane Banda, the baby's father, told reporters: "I am the father of David, who has been adopted. 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."
A spokeswoman for Madonna has said that a statement will be forthcoming. Hopefully they'll be telling Mr Banda that Madonna lives in London sometime soon too.
