Madonna is over the moon after David Banda, the Malawian child that she and her husband Guy Ritchie are in the process of adopting, was allowed to fly to London on Sunday, reports Hello! magazine. David and his minder flew first from Malawi to South Africa and from South Africa to London, where he landed on Monday.

A passenger that sat next to David on the first leg of his flight told British newspaper, the Daily Mail, "The baby was happy and laughing and was just so sweet. He looks very healthy and is absolutely adorable. The first thing I noticed about him was just how cute he was. I think they will make a great family."

Madonna is also hopeful about the new addition to her family. Hello! reports that the singer told her family in Michigan, "It's so worth it. He's just the best baby ever. Guy and I have never been happier." And she also raved about another child she hopes to adopt from the African nation, a girl. Madonna reportedly said of the girl, "I looked at this child with questioning dark eyes and the saddest smile. I thought, 'She looks just like me.' I told Guy, 'We must give this child a home, too.'"
