Madonna's Adopted Son Has A New Half Brother 7/28/08
Madonna's adopted son David Banda has a new brother - his biological
father has a new baby son. Yohane Banda's wife Flora gave birth to the
yet-to-be named boy at the Mchinji District Hospital in Malawi - the
same clinic where little David was born in 2005.
Yohane, 33, tells the Associated Press, "I am over the moon. We thought
of keeping this birth a secret. But now we are happy to announce the
birth of our son."
The new dad handed David over to an orphanage as a baby in 2005, shortly
after his then-wife Marta died from childbirth complications. He claimed
he couldn't afford to feed the tot.
Madonna found the boy and took him back to her home in Britain the
following year - although her adoption of him was only legally finalized
in 2008. The pop superstar was criticized for choosing a child who still
had a parent, in a country with no legal framework for adoption.
