Madonna: David Banda Adoption Is Too Traumatic

April 28, 2008 08:19 am CDT 

Madonna has admitted her adoption of a Malawian baby was too "traumatic." The pop superstar has opened up about the tests she underwent for now 2-year-old David Banda.

Madonna, 49, tells The Today Show, "I have been fingerprinted about 20 times and undergone psychological evaluations. I've been visited every six weeks by social workers who make sure that you're being a good parent and that David's health is thriving and who ask you all kinds of invasive questions."

"We have not been granted the full adoption - it's supposed to be happening in the next month - so I've been a foster parent for 18 months. I don't see how anybody who really understands how complicated it is to adopt a child could say that someone chose to do that as a fad."

"It's just too difficult - too traumatic."

Madonna, whose mother had died of breast cancer when she was just 5 years old, also reveals she is considering working in orphanages in other countries in the future.

She continues, "I grew up as a motherless child. I had a roof over my head and I had food and I had a school to go to. And I still thought that my world was going to collapse on me."

"So how could it be for these children who, most of them having lost both of their parents, having no roof over their head and no food to eat, how horrifying and frightening it must be for them."

She adds that she's prepared for another adoption in the future. "You know, I'd do it again. Because David is amazing. He's brought so much joy to our lives. We love him."
