The HUNG UP singer will now be able to take one-year-old DAVID BANDA with her when she leaves the African country and she will eventually be granted full custody of the child, whose mother MARITA died shortly after his birth.
ALAN CHINULA, who represented Madonna in court in Lilongwe, said, "It's not an outright adoption until after a period of 18 months has elapsed but the adopted boy can travel with Madonna wherever she is staying, as long as he comes back to Malawi."
There are a number of other conditions attached to the adoption order, but Chinula refused to discuss them until he had briefed Madonna - who did not attend - in person.
TOM LIGOWE, senior assistant registrar at Lilongwe high court, confirms, "Madonna has been granted an interim order to adopt the child and she has been given observer status."
Ligowe revealed another court session will be held to confirm the exact wording of the adoption order.
