A children’s rights groups in Malawi has called on the government to delay plans for American pop star Madonna to adopt a one-year-old boy.

The group showed concern yesterday about the adoption process, saying it should not be like buying property. The group warned it may seek to block a court order this week.
According to Malawi law, the couple’s adoption will be reviewed for 18 months before the judge gives his final decision.

Madonna and her husband left the southern African nation yesterday ending a nine-day trip. But the one-year-old boy, David Banda, remained in the country because of ongoing legal proceedings.
