Madonna Adoption Stuff

Yohane Banda, who agreed to give his son up for adoption two years ago because
he could not afford to support him, says he's not been allowed access to the
child, and regrets giving him away.
Banda is quoted by The Times as saying: "I should be able to see my son and say
hello. I don't know how he is growing, what person he is turning into. This
pains me because it looks like he is not my son any more". He goes on to say
that the singer promised him he would be able to see his son in the future, and
that the Malawian government would facilitate these meetings.
I seem to remember that Madonna has said that the boy would have died if she
hadn't rescued him from the orphanage where he was living, but who knows if
that's true or not. The adoption process is expected to be completed later this
month, when Madonna can fit a visit to Malawi into her busy schedule.
