Madonna has blessing of baby’s father

THE biological father of the 13-month-old boy Madonna wants to make part of her family yesterday criticised human rights groups who have challenged how the adoption is being handled and said his child should stay with the star.

Yohane Banda said he had entrusted his son to a Malawian orphanage after his wife died of childbirth complications, saying he was too poor to raise him alone.

Now, he says, Madonna has given the boy a chance to have a family.
