New York, Mar 30 : Madonna has arrived in Malawi and is expected to sign today adoption papers which will allow her to adopt a second child from the African nation.
The move, however, has been widely criticised by aid agencies as "exacerbating" the plight of children in impoverished countries.
The 50-year-old singer was accompanied by her oldest offspring, Lourdes Leon, 12. The pair strolled hand in hand through the village of Chinkhota, chatting with locals and soaking up the sun.
