Madonna has reportedly "set her heart" on adopting a Malawian girl called Grace after seeing the youngster playing in an orphanage - according to media reports.

British newspaper The Sun reports the pop star is expected to fly to Malawi on Sunday with adopted son David Banda to visit several orphanages.

But it is Grace who has caught her eye after she saw the three-year-old girl in a documentary.

A source close to the Material Girl hitmaker, says: "Madonna saw a film of children at a place called The Consol Home.

"She spotted a beautiful girl called Grace who lit the room with her smile, and fell head over heels for her. Madonna kept saying: 'That girl has so much love in her. I want to help her achieve her potential.'

"It was always Madonna's intention to adopt two orphans from Malawi - a boy and a girl."

However, Madonna's publicist has denied the singer is planning to adopt another child, insisting: "She's going back to continue her work with Raising Malawi Organization and to oversee the building of a children's health care centre there.

"There are no plans for another adoption."
