Madonna adoption: Paternity dispute erupts

As Malawi’s highest court prepares to decide on Madonna’s bid to adopt a second child from the country, a dispute has erupted over whether a man trying to stop the proceedings is the three-year-old girl’s father.

The Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal was to consider the case today. Its decision may not be announced for several days and Madonna was not expected at the closed-door hearing in Blantyre, the commercial capital.
