A representative for Madonna has insisted that the singer's adoption of African child David Banda is going ahead as planned.
Recent reports have claimed that the process is being held up, after the Malawian official who was overseeing the case was replaced for breaking protocol.
However, Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg insisted: "The plans to finalise the adoption of Madonna and Guy Ritchie's son David are proceeding as outlined almost a year ago, the day the Malawian Government granted them their 'interim' adoption.
"There has been absolutely no interference with Government Officials or use of Madonna's 'celebrity' to speed up this adoption as reported. All appropriate legal requirements are being followed, including a home visit."
She added: "Madonna and her entire family look forward to being granted the final adoption early next year - 18 months following the original interim adoption order."
