Madonna's spokeswoman has denied that the singer is planning on adopting another Malawian child this weekend. Although the singer is planning another trip to Malawi, it is not, as some newspapers reported, with plans to adopt another sort of orphan. Madonna courted controversy last year, of course, when she adopted a baby boy called David Banda, seemingly, or at least allegedly, avoiding some of the legal processes others must go through to adopt in the country.
On the rumours in the Sun that Madonna was planning on adopting a three year old girl called Grace on her next trip to Malawi, the singer's spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg, told reporters yesterday: "Madonna is going to Africa to continue her work with the Raising Malawi organisation. She is overseeing the building of a children's healthcare centre. She is absolutely not adopting another baby".
