Madonna moves to adopt another Malawian child

MADONNA has filed papers in advance of adopting a second child from the impoverished African republic of Malawi.

Reports suggest that the 50-year-old singer will travel to the region over the weekend with a possible court hearing coming as soon as Monday.

Madonna’s spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg declined to comment on the issue, but officials in the US and Malawi have said that an adoption bid is under way.
