Madonna faces parenting investigation

Madonna and Guy Ritchie are facing a tough inspection to see if they are fit parents.

The couple will soon be visited by Malawian adoption officials, who plan to conduct a formal interview with the stars, as well as observing them for up to five hours a day over a five-day period. Questions about alcohol, infertility, divorce and infidelity are expected to be asked.

If Madonna and Guy satisfy the interviewers, the adoption process of baby David Banda will be completed.

A source told The Sun: "This home study is a big deal - and Madonna and Guy have been absolutely dreading it. Malawi is a conservative country that disapproves of drugs, alcohol, divorce and cheating. These assessments are very gruelling and many couples don't pass."
