Madonna and her adopted child, David Banda, 18 months, are flying from her home in England to Africa to spend time with David’s father, Yohane Banda. An insider reveals, “She wants David to have a relationship with his biological father, she’s going under the guise of a vacation, but she’s not on vacation, she’s on a mission.” Since Madonna adopted David from oalawi in october 2006 she has been criticised for using her fame and wealth to fast track the adoption process. “She plans on having David’s father be part of the extended family. She wants to show that her adoption was an unselfish act of love and not what it was portrayed as in the media,” the source says. [12 April 2007]
