MADGE FACES ADOPTION HURDLE

Madonna and Guy Ritchie are still knee deep in the process of adopting little David Banda, the Malawian toddler they scooped up from an orphanage in the African country last year that sparked outcry from over 50 civil rights groups that petitioned against the move. British newspaper The Sun reports that child welfare inspectors from the toddlers native country will travel to Madge and Guy's mansion in two weeks to assess if the power duo are fit to be parents.

The paper goes on to say that the two the superstars are "dreading" the official grilling because "very sensitive questions about alcohol, infertility, divorce and infidelity will be fired at them for up to five days."

Madge and hubby will have to fess up to rumors of a rocky relationship that could prevent them from getting to adopt little Banda. The paper reports that they will be judged on how loving they are towards each other and to their other children.

A source told the paper, "This home study is a big deal — and Madonna and Guy have been absolutely dreading it. Malawi is a conservative country that disapproves of drugs, alcohol, divorce and cheating.

"These assessments are very grueling and many couples don't pass."

Let's hope Madonna has put away any copies of her infamous "Sex" book that she may happen to have sitting on coffee tables around the house.
