It has been reported that Madonna's adoption of David Banda could be in jeopardy.
A Malawi newspaper wrote that that Minister of Women and Child Development, Kate Kainja, had barred Penstone Kilembe from making his planned trip to assess the suitability of Madonna and her husband, film director Guy Ritchie, as the boy's adoptive parents.
Kilembe it seems has not been approved. The Minister said, "We have already contacted Madonna that someone else and not Kilembe will come to asses her, because we feel Mr. Kilembe personalized the whole issue when other people can go."
In response to this Kilembe stated, "What this means is that the whole adoption process may crumble and David sent back to his village."
