Madonna to adopt another child soon

“She wants David to have a relationship with his biological father," an insider tells Life & Style exclusively. "She’s going under the guise of a vacation, but she’s not on vacation — she’s on a mission.�?

After Madonna adopted David from Malawi in October, critics accused her of using her wealth and fame to fast-track the process. Madonna publicly rebutted that claim, but felt — and still feels — that her reputation was hurt by the controversy surrounding the adoption, the insider says.

“She intends to adopt another baby soon, but first she wants to repair her image from all the bad press she got over David’s adoption," says the insider. “She plans on having David’s father be part of the extended family. She wants to show that her adoption was an unselfish act of love and not what it was portrayed as in the media.�?

Madonna's rep, Liz Rosenberg, confirms to Life & Style that Madonna is traveling to Malawi but denies that she has another adoption in the works. “I can confirm that Madonna is planning a trip to Malawi quite soon," Liz says. "She's going to continue her work with the Raising Malawi Orphan Care Initiative, including the building of a children’s care center. If her trip there brings attention to the tremendous need to help the children of that country, then so be it. No one objects to that.�?

Still, UK gossips claim she is adopting.

MADONNA reportedly has “set her heart�? on adopting Malawian baby Grace after watching video footage of her playing in an orphanage.

She fell for the smiling three-year-old as she viewed a documentary about a £2million day care home she is funding for orphans in the impoverished African country.

A source close to the star, who last year adopted Malawian lad David Banda, said yesterday: “Madonna saw a film of children at a place called The Consol Home.

“She spotted a beautiful girl called Grace who lit the room with her smile, and fell head over heels for her.

“Madonna kept saying, ‘That girl has so much love in her. I want to help her achieve her potential’.

“But adoption officials are being very strict after the uproar when Madonna adopted David. They know Grace is her first choice, but have insisted she looks at other girls first — and that the final decision is theirs.�?
