Madonna to adopt African girl

Singer wants to find a sister for David Banda

Madonna turns 50 this month

Madonna is said to be planning to open her home to another disadvantaged child.

The Material Girl was given permanent custody of Malawi-born David Banda in May.

And now she wants the 3-year-old to have a sister from his home nation.

Madonna is said to be liaising with her charity Raising Malawi to select a suitable orphan.

'3 orphanages have been visited and photographs have been sent to her,’ a source tells Daily Star Sunday. ‘It's thought they are down to a shortlist of 10 girls aged between 6 and 18 months.’

Madonna, 49, is also mum to Lourdes, 11, with ex Carlos Leon, and Rocco, 7, with husband Guy Ritchie, 39.
