Madonna has reportedly flown back to Malawi with her adopted son David to meet with the boy’s biological father, Yohane Banda.

An inside source told Life & Style magazine: “She wants David to have a relationship with his biological father.”

“She plans on having David’s father be part of the extended family. She wants to show that her adoption was not what it was portrayed as in the media.”

While in the country, she will also oversee the building of a children’s health-care centre as part of her work with the Raising Malawi charity.

The source added: “She’s going under the guise of a vacation, but she’s not on vacation - she’s on a mission.”

Her spokesperson Liz Rosenberg has denied rumours that the trip is intended to attempt to repair her reputation in the country so that she can adopt another child: “[Madonna]’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. She is absolutely not adopting another baby.”
