Madonna Adoption Case Taken to High Court by Human Rights Group
By WENN| Friday, October 20, 2006
HOLLYWOOD - The Malawian human rights group who are protesting against Madonna's adoption of 13-month-old David Banda are taking their case to the high court in Malawi capital Lilongwe today--insisting they are still suspicious of the "secretive" nature of the situation.
The group will ask the judge to impose an injunction to ensure the pop queen and her husband Guy Ritchie returns to Malawi in order to go through complete adoption checks. The Material Girl star apparently whisked the child back to London before the procedure could be undertaken, and reportedly took advice from a Californian adoption agency in a bid to dodge strict UK measures. The campaigners claim Banda's biological father was unaware of the logistics of the situation when he allowed his child to be taken to Britain.
Executive director for the Centre of Human Rights and Rehabilitation in Malawi Undule Mwakasungule says, "We will go to the high court and ask the judge for an injunction to bring Madonna back to Malawi and go through the proper process.
"What is not right is that the father still thinks the boy is his boy. He doesn't understand what adoption means.
"He doesn't understand the boy is completely and forever going to be out of his custody.
"We want to know why this adoption was so quick and so secretive. Madonna has said she started the procedure a long time ago, so why was it not an open process?"
