According to The Sun, Madonna adopted a 13-month-old Malawi boy named David today.
THE desperately poor father of the African tot being adopted by Madonna last night declared he was “so happy” the child was being whisked into a world of wealth.

to raise him?
She's being criticized for "orphan shopping," and worse:
