Devastated after her unsuccessful attempt to adopt a second child from Malawi, Madonna is turning to another African country in her search for a sibling for little David Banda.
The singer’s application to adopt a young Malawian girl was rejected by the country’s high court earlier this year, but now she’s looking at adoption centres in Nigeria and has sent a female friend to make enquiries and “test the waters”, according to reports.
Nigerian law states that applicants must be resident in the country for at least three months prior to adopting. It was a similar law that prevented Madonna from adopting in Malawi, but she hopes to find a way around it this time.
“Madonna has some of the best legal minds working for her and she’ll be pushing them to find a loophole,” a friend revealed.
Meanwhile the material girl is trying to get her personal life in order so that she’ll seem like a more suitable parent when making an application to adopt, and that includes getting her 22-year-old boyfriend Jesus Luz involved.
Madonna believes her relationship with Jesus was one of the reasons her application in Malawi was rejected.
“She’s determined not to make the same mistakes and feels that the only way to do this is to get Jesus involved from the off,” says a friend.
