Madonna Leaves David Banda's Biological Father Fuming

Madonna Leaves David Banda's Biological Father Fuming ...more Madonna »

Madonna has angered the biological father of the David Banda, the Malawian boy she adopted, by stating that he would be dead had she not rescued him.

Having caused outrage in 2006 by allegedly side-stepping the official adoption process and bringing David back to her home in Britain, the Hung Up singer has gone one step further by infuriating Yohane Banda.

In an upcoming interview with a U.S. magazine, Madonna controversially states: "He (David) wouldn't have lived if I hadn't taken him. It's not even a possibility."

However, Yohane has been left insulted by her comments, telling the People newspaper: "Madonna should choose her words a bit more carefully. To say these things about David's life before she adopted him is just not right."

Madonna’s comment may be examined at next month’s Malawian court hearing, where an official decision over the adoption case will be made by a human rights panel.

Poll  Who's Side Are You On?

Madonna - She did save his life, fact.

Yohane - Madonna is being totally insensitive

Both of them should stop whining

  • Once again, Madonna exemplifies every one of the worst stereotypes of adoptive parents as selfish, sanctimonious rescuers who credit no one but themselves for the adoptee's survival! but the good news is that those involved in truly open adoptions knows the birthfamily and respect them enough to realize the child's success in ilfe is due to what each set of parents have contributed, and that every adopted child still needs access to both.

    • I truly thank Madonna on behalf of Banda for adopting that little David, but I don't see David dying in any way had Madonna not adopted him. How many kids die here in Malawi for not being adopted? They survive only that 65% lack education but that does not kill them. Banda still deserves all the respect so Madonna should really watch her mouth.
