Madonna to adopt girl from Cambodia?
Madonna is looking to adopt a girl from Cambodia, a report has claimed.

She and husband Guy Ritchie, who adopted David Banda from Malawi in 2006, have apparently asked others to look for a sister for him in Cambodia.

They reportedly believe there will be less bureaucracy than has been the case for David. A source told The Sun: "Malawi is bound up in red tape and she hopes that Cambodia will be easier."

The paper also reports that a social worker has concluded that the pair are good parents to the two-year-old.

Simon Chisale, a social welfare officer for Malawi, found it was "in the best interest of David" to stay with Madonna and Ritchie.

He said they had a happy and relaxed relationship and David enjoyed "warm, playful interaction" with Ritchie.

It means the formal process can go to the next stage and the youngster may be formally adopted in the spring.
