MADONNA WANTS A MALAWIAN BROTHER OR SISTER FOR DAVID
Madonna is “considering” adopting another child from Malawi. She tells Malawi’s Nation newspaper, “[Adoption is] something I have been considering, but would only do if I had the support of the Malawian people and the Government.”
Back in 2006, Madonna and then-husband Guy Ritchie adopted their son David Banda from Malawi; The couple faced a barrage of criticism, with protests from some groups accusing the Malawian government of giving Madonna special star treatment and sidestepping policies on foreign adoption .
The adoption was later deemed legal in 2008. Now Madonna wants a sister or brother for David.
”Many people — especially our Malawian friends — say that David should have a Malawian brother or sister. It is a big priority for me to educate my son about the world, but always to stay connected to his Malawian culture,” she says.
As for a her recent divorce from Guy Richie, the star insists that she and Guy are still friends and are providing a good “foundation” for their children.
”Everything between us is very amicable. … We both agree that our children should always feel a deep connection with both their parents. It is our responsibility to give them that foundation.”
Last year, Madonna was rumored to have signed paperwork to adopt a Malawain child named Mercy James, but the adoption never came to pass.

Good… Teach him about his culture.

He is so cute and adorable.
The idea of teaching him is that he can go back in the future to make a difference..

I was thinking the same thing. He will have the best education and access to the best nutrition and health care so that one day he will be able to back back and help his village.

I think it’s important he knows he doesn’t have to go back and help his village. His life is in the US/UK now he will hardly remember Malawi. It’s wrong to put pressure on him to help his village when he grows up.
We don’t expect that of other adopted children do we?
