Pop
star Madonna and her adopted son met with the young boy's
biological father in Malawi as the singer awaited a court
decision on whether she could adopt a girl from the same
country, her publicist said Tuesday. Liz Rosenberg said in a
statement that Madonna and her son David met Monday with David's
birth father, Yohanne Banda, for the first time since the young
boy was adopted in 2006.
"Madonna is committed to maintaining an ongoing relationship
with David's Malawian roots," Rosenberg said.
The publicist also confirmed, in the first public
acknowledgment of what has been reported for weeks, that Madonna
has filed an application "to adopt Mercy James, a 3-year-old
girl Madonna met two years ago in an orphanage that she visited."
A spokeswoman for
Malawi's attorney general told CNN that the singer appeared
Monday in court in that country, one of the poorest nations in
the world, for a hearing on whether she would be allowed to
adopt the girl. |
