Madonna has hinted she’s planning to extend her family – by adopting another child from poverty-stricken country Malawi.
The Holiday hitmaker and her then-husband Guy Ritchie adopted David Banda – who was 13-months-old at the time – from the southern African country in 2006, which caused media allegations they violated that country’s adoption laws.
But Madonna, 50, believes Banda should have a sibling from his homeland.
“Many people – especially our Malawian friends – say that David should have a Malawian brother or sister,” she said in response to emailed questions from Malawi’s the Nation newspaper.
“It’s something I have been considering, but would only do, if I had the support of the Malawian people and the Government.”
“It is a big priority for me to educate my son about the world, but always to stay connected to his Malawian culture,” she added.
“He has a big map of Africa in his room with lots of arrows pointing to Malawi.”
Madonna – who is also mom to daughter Lourdes, 13, and son Rocco, 8 – said her recent divorce from Ritchie would not deprive their children of either parent.
“I believe in family. So, everything between us is very amicable…we both agree that our children should always feel a deep connection with both their parents. It is our responsibility to give them that foundation,” she said.
