Madonna’s Malawi adoption legally approved

MALAWI’S high court yesterday approved an application by US pop star Madonna to permanently adopt a three-year-old boy from one of Africa’s poorest countries, her lawyer said.

“It’s a beautiful and positive judgement,” lawyer Alan Chinula told reporters outside the courthouse in the capital Lilongwe.

“Finally the court has granted Madonna full adoption rights of the boy ... It’s all over, thank God.”
