MADONNA LEAVES MALAWI PUZZLED !

Madonna has left Malawi without letting the father of her adopted son see his only child, it has been claimed. Farmer Yohane Banda is said to be distraught after two meetings for him to be reunited with 18-month-old David were cancelled.The singer visited the African country last week with baby David and daughter Lourdes, where she spent time working on projects for her charity,Raising Malawi. Although the trio went to the Home of Hope orphanage, where Madonna first met David last year, the much-publicised father and son reunion failed to materialise. A source told People magazine: "Yohane was there all day on Saturday and in the morning of her visit."He was told he would spend some time with his son but the meeting was cancelled."Madonna's representative, Liz Rosenberg, said she did not know whether the reunion took place. During the trip, it was revealed Madonna had met the three-year-old Malawian girl she reportedly wants to adopt. Despite her publicist denying she is to adopt again, Madonna reportedly told friends she is looking for a sister for David and is considering welcoming orphan Grace into her family. A source said: "Madonna was talking with Grace and looked very happy. They were together for about 15 minutes."

MADONNA WORKING ON CHILDRENS BOOK

Madonna is dedicating her new children's book to her adopted son.The pop superstar - who has written a number of children's stories - is said to be drawing on her experiences with Malawian tot David Banda, who she was granted custody of last October, for her next tale. A source said: "She adores David and wants to honor him by writing a boys'adventure with a moral lesson."Madonna, 48, is believed to be keen to make sure the book has a Kabbalahist moral message in line with her beliefs. The faith is an off shoot of Judaism, and the singer and her husband Guy Ritchie are both devout followers. It is not the first time Madonna has written a book inspired by one of her children.The star's first story, 'The English Roses', dealt with peer pressure among girls, and was based on her experiences with her daughter Lourdes.
