Malawi Information Minister Backs Madonna’s Adoption

The New York Daily News reports Patricia Kaliati, the information minister for Malawi, said the country should not derail Madonna’s adoption plans for 2-year-old David Banda, especially after the singer hosted a charity event in New York last week that raised millions of dollars for UNICEF. “This country owes her so much,” Kaliati said. “Very few famous people would take their time off to rally other celebrities to raise money for a poor country like Malawi.”
