Madonna's plans to adopt
Share this Story
Rumours are rife that Madonna and husband Guy Richie are planning to adopt an underpriveleged child from an orphanage in Africa.
A friend told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Madonna is convinced it is the
right thing to do but Guy has been very wary.
"It has led to some serious arguments and put a lot of pressure on their
marriage.
Guy has first hand experience of adoption as his mother, Lady Amber, gave up
her first baby and he is worried his wife has not fully thought through her
plans.
"His family are very concerned Madonna wants an African baby as a celebrity
status symbol, like Angelina Jolie.
It has been reported that Madonna has already picked the orphan
she plans to adopt, a one-year-old boy called Luca.
The pop superstar - who already has a nine-year-old daughter, Lourdes, from
her relationship with fitness instructor Carlos Leon, and son Rocco, five,
with Guy - first met the boy at the Mchinji Mission Orphanage last Wednesday
(10.04.06) and on Saturday she returned to the home.
It is believed Madonna has hired a top lawyer, Alan Chinula, to help speed
up the adoption process - which usually takes six weeks. She hopes to take
Luca home with her when she leaves on Friday (10.13.06).
Chinula confirmed: "I am due to meet with a representative of Madonna
concerning the adoption soon."
