Madonna’s controversial bid to adopt a second child from Malawi was approved today.

Madonna's adoption appeal hearing was adjourned after just 30 minutes on Monday - to allow the star's lawyers more time to prepare their case.

A 24-YEAR-OLD Malawian man who claims to be the father of a girl Madonna wants to adopt vowed yesterday to fight the US pop icon’s adoption bid.

Madonna's ongoing bid to adopt a Malawian girl will be heard by the country's chief justice when the case goes to court next week.
