after the Malawian government recommended the High Court formally approve
the process.
An official has deemed the singer a suitable mother, after visiting the
London home Madonna shares with husband Guy Ritchie and children Lourdes and
Rocco. It was decided it would be "in the best interests" of David, two, to
stay with the couple.
The '4 Minutes' singer caused controversy when she brought then one-year-old
David home from the African country in October 2006. Critics claimed she had
been given preferential treatment because of her star status despite
Malawian laws which prevent non-citizens from adopting.
Madonna's lawyers have requested her court appearance should be delayed from
next week until the end of April because she has prior engagements in the
US.
A court official said: "They have made that application at the High Court,
and the judge is expected to respond soon."
