Madonna visits adoption orphanage

Madonna has visited the orphanage in Malawi where the young boy she is in the process of adopting used to live.

Children at the church-run Home of Hope orphanage sang and recited lessons for the pop star, while her daughter, Lourdes, took video footage.

But there was unrest outside as orphans and police tried to stop journalists gaining access to the facility.

Madonna, 48, has denied reports that she plans to adopt a second African child during her visit.

The singer is believed to have brought one-year-old David Banda to the orphanage in Mchinji, a village near the Zambian border, to meet his biological father.

Apparently seeking to fulfil the orphanage's pledge that the visit would be conducted in private, police prevented reporters from following Madonna's convoy into the compound.

According to some reports, journalists were also confronted by school children who threw stones at them.

But on leaving the orphanage, Madonna posed for photographs, holding hands with Lourdes and with David in her arms.
