Baby joy for father of Madonna's adopted son
The biological father of Madonna’s adopted Malawian son David has a new child.
The boy was born on Sunday, and he and his mother, Flora, are doing well, the boy’s father Yohane Banda said today.
Mr Banda married Flora after the death of his wife Marita from childbirth complications shortly after the arrival of David on September 25 2005.
Mr Banda and his ageing mother, Asinati Mwale, decided to surrender David to the Home of Hope Orphanage because they could not afford to buy him formula milk after his mother’s death.
Madonna, through her Raising Malawi charity, found him at the orphanage and filed for adoption. A Malawi high court judge in May approved the adoption.
Mr Banda said his new son, who has not been named yet, was born at Mchinji District Hospital, the same one where David was born.
