Madonna Revisits Malawi
Madonna is due to arrive in Malawi, the African country where her adopted son David Banda was born.The singer is said to be taking David with her to see his natural father.
She says the main purpose of her trip is to see the work of a charity she supports, and denies reports that she plans to adopt a second African child.
The 48-year-old London-based American pop star sparked a furore when she adopted one-year-old David from an orphanage last year.
She was accused by adoption groups of using her celebrity status to bypass laws about foreigners adopting from Malawi - allegations she strenuously denied.
Speaking before Madonna set off for Malawi, her spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said: "She is overseeing the building of a children's healthcare centre. She is absolutely not adopting another baby."
I wonder if visits to David Banda's home country are part of the deal that fast-tracked the adoption process, but that's just speculation on my part.
