As expected, the court hearing to finalise Madonna's adoption of little David Banda has been delayed after the singer requested a postponement from Malawi's high court due to the fact that she had to deal with the important business of travelling to the US to promote her album. A court official told reporters that the date for the hearing would now be 15 May "unless her lawyers ask for another date".
It sounds to me as though it's a bit of a formality, really. The Malawian government has recommended that the adoption go ahead, and Banda has been with the Madonnas now for the best part of two years.
