Malawian Government Official: Yohane Knew Of Madonna Adoption Plan

Reuters reports a senior Malawian government official on Monday dismissed as untrue remarks by Yohane Banda, who said he was misled into signing over his son David for adoption by Madonna. “We explained every detail, and Madonna herself explained her intentions in the face of the judge and in Banda’s presence,” said Penson Kilembe, director of child welfare in the Ministry of Women and Child Development. “He (Banda) was asked several times in court if he understood what was going on, and he said he did.”
