Madonna Meets David Banda’s Daddy
Madonna finally got the chance to meet her adopted son’s father for the first time in Malawi on Tuesday (April 17th).
According to reports from People, the pop superstar had tears in her eyes as Yohane, 32, saw his son. Madonna and her director husband Guy Ritchie gained temporary custody of the boy, David Banda, last October.
Madonna is said to have spent a half hour or so at the Home of Hope orphanage, which is where David had been living before he was taken to his new home in the UK.
Orphanage worker Chimbutus told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “David just grabbed his father’s hair and just laughed and laughed. Madonna told Yohane that she was proud to be a mother to his son and that Yohane was part of the family. There were tears in both their eyes.”
Monsters and Critics claimed that the 48-year-old Madonna, who traveled to Malawi with 18-month-old David and her daughter Lourdes, 10, also revealed she was thinking of buying the orphanage.
Addressing a classroom of children at the home, she said: “I might take over the orphanage because the pastor here is getting old and about to retire. I love you and I have all your welfare at heart.”
While Madonna’s publicist has denied reports that the singer is using the trip to adopt a little girl, the orphanage worker said that Madonna seemed drawn to a six-year-old girl named Wezzie. This is a little older than the age that Madonna is said to be interested in adopting, though.
She also spent time with Chisomo, 2, the little girl she had considered adopting before meeting David on her first visit.
However, the “Queen of Pop” is said to have her heart set on a three-year-old girl named Grace, who is being cared for at a different orphanage.
A source added: “It was always Madonna’s intention to adopt two orphans, a boy and a girl. Grace is healthy, stunning and has no living relatives.”
Here are some April 17th photos from Madonna’s trip to Malawi.
