MADONNA CONFIRMS ADOPTION
LATEST: MADONNA and husband GUY RITCHIE have confirmed they are planning to adopt a 13-month-old boy named DAVID from Malawi.
The couple left the African country on Friday (13OCT06) without the child and are waiting for the legal arrangements surrounding the adoption to be finalised.
The singer's spokeswoman LIZ ROSENBERG confirmed the couple's plans to expand their family to US TV show ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT.
She says, "Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie have been granted custody of their son, David.
"Final legal arrangements are being made to bring him home to his new family."
Last week (04OCT06), the singer arrived in the southern African country, where she has been involved in humanitarian work.
The HUNG UP star is building an orphanage and child care centre and is involved in other initiatives geared toward helping children orphaned by AIDS.
David will be Madonna's third child. She and Ritchie have a five-year-old son ROCCO and Madonna has a daughter LOURDES, who turns 10 today (14OCT06), from a prior relationship.
