Madonna and son DavidThe biological father of Madonna’s adopted son David has said he may challenge her adoption order after claiming the Malawian government lied to him about the arrangements.

Yohane Banda claims he was told he would be able to see David “every three to four years” after the adoption took place but Madonna’s lawyer in the county Alan Chinula has said there was nothing in the final adoption order about visitation rights and he was “not aware” that any such promise had been made.

Yohane, who placed David in an orphanage after the death of the boy’s mother, is quoted in the Daily Mail as saying: “The truth is that I love the boy and it was in his best interests to put him in the orphanage.

“Because I support the adoption I would not want to put up a challenge that would reverse it, but I might challenge some aspects of the order that has been granted.

“I am discussing with my family about following up on having access to the child. We will not leave things the way they are – we will do something about it.

“Anything I do will be aimed at securing the wellbeing of David.”

Madonna took custody of the now two year old boy in October 2006 and after several delays, the adoption was eventually finalised last week.
