Madonna On Her Way To Malawi To Adopt a Daughter

It’s official! Madonna will be in Malawi next week to adopt a little sister for Lourdes, Rocco, and David.

Rumors started last year that Madonna would once again adopt from Malawi but many thought her recent divorce from Guy Ritchie put a stop to that.  Madonna is going along with the plan to give her youngest son David, also adopted from Malawi, a girl sibling from his home country.

“We are expecting her this weekend,” an official from the Ministry of Women and Child Welfare, which is responsible for adoption in the African nation, tells PEOPLE.

The official says that Raising Malawi, the charity the singer established there, filed adoption papers for a baby girl, whose identity has not been revealed. “All is set for the adoption; all the paperwork is ready,” he says. Madonna is expected to appear in the High Court in the capital of Lilongwe next week to start the process for the second adoption. 

Raising Malawi is a charity Madonna started back in 2006 to raise funds for the children in Malawi orphaned because of AIDS.
