Madonna adopts baby boy

Madonna has adopted a one-year-old boy named David from an orphanage in Malawi. The singer and her husband received an interim order from a judge allowing them to take custody of the boy. "They have followed the normal processes," a child welfare services rep said. "This had been going on for some time. Now this is the completion point." The young boy, named David, has been living at an orphanage since his mother died only a month after he was born. The father of the boy spoke to the press on Tuesday, saying, "I am the father of David, who has been adopted. I am very very happy because you can see there is poverty in this village and I know he will be very well looked after in America." Madonna and Guy Ritchie met with David's father as part of the court formalities. "They are a lovely couple," the father said. "She asked me many questions. She and her husband seem happy with David. I am happy for him." Madonna has not commented publicly since her arrival in the African nation last week.
