Malawi court rejects Madonna adoption request
A judge and a lawyer said today that Madonna’s application to adopt a second child from Malawi has been rejected because of a requirement that prospective parents be resident in the country for 18 to 24 months.
The judge who spoke did not make the ruling in Lilongwe, Malawi, but saw it. The lawyer was present when the ruling was made. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the case.
