Malawi's Information Minister Patricia Kaliati has said that she thinks it would be wrong for Malawian courts to block Madonna's adoption of David Banda. You will remember that Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie brought the little boy back from the African country to the UK back in 2006, dogged by claims that their adoption of baby Banda was not legal, and that the couple had effectively dodged the country's official adoption process. If you don't remember that, then I'd congratulate you on your own ability to dodge exposure to this country's media outlets.
Anyway, this information lady says: "this country owes her so much. Very few famous people would take their time off to rally other celebrities to raise money for a poor country like Malawi, which very few people know about. It will be wrong for Malawi to even dare deny this wonderful woman all the rights to be a parent of David and many more Malawian children".
Madonna recently co-hosted a charity party in New York for her own Raising Malawi orphan care initiative and the United Nations Children's fund, and raised £1.85m.
