MADONNA is to get permanent custody of her adopted African son five months earlier than she hoped.
The superstar, 49, will appear before the high court in Malawi next month for a review of her temporary adoption order.
And it is expected the hearing – originally not due to take place until April – will grant her full custody of two-year-old David Banda. The boy has been living with her, husband GUY RITCHIE and their two children in London for a year.
Human rights campaigners said Madonna, who is pouring millions into Malawi’s orphanages, was getting special treatment.Lawyer Justin Dzonzi said the temporary order had stipulated that at least 18 months should elapse to assess Madonna’s suitability as a parent. He added: “If this is true it would appear the rules have been bent.”
Officials were also supposed to visit David twice to check up, but have done so only once.
Madonna is desperate to keep details of her trip to Malawi secret, but she is believed to have sent some aides out already.Celebs and Bubs

why should she deserve any special treatment?
-
she is just like Angelina Jolie, trying to collect babies from around the world. sick.
-
it should be noted that she is trying to help, even if she's going about it in kind of a twisted way.
-
it seems to me that she should have had her lawyers check this all out before she started this process.
-
I was really kind of hoping that the rules would not be bent for her in this case, she's been so arrogant about the whole thing. alas.
-
seriously she probably thought it was all good just because she's madonna, dammit!
-
maybe the Malawians don't want their orphans raised by practitioners of the latest celebrity religion du jour like madonna.
-
i wish that these people would realize that there is little babies here in the USA that need a home, why not take care of them?
