Madonna's 'adopted son' remains in Malawi

Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie have jetted out of Malawi after gaining preliminary custody of a one-year-old boy they want to adopt in an apparently streamlined procedure that sparked criticism from a child protection organisation.

In a statement later, Madonna’s spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg confirmed the adoption plans, but said one-year-old David did not leave with Madonna and Guy Ritchie on Friday because final legal arrangements were still being made.
