Following the news of Madonna's divorce announcement, Yohana Banda, the father of the "orphan" boy Madonna adopted two years ago, now is openly wondering if it would be better if his son was returned to Africa to live with his family.
"This is a new and terrible thing to happen to him," Banda told the Herald Sun on hearing the news. "I am too upset to think clearly. [David] is only three years old and he has been through so much."
The man lives with his family in Malawi, where Madonna and Guy Ritchie adopted David after his mother died from complications with childbirth. He gave up David because he couldn't afford to raise him, but now Banda has remarried and HAS ANOTHER KID!
"I have the joy of a new family and I even have a new son. But now when I think of David in danger of living outside a family life I find it unbearable. I find it hard to believe God intended this."
"This woman Madonna told me herself that David was beautiful and made her happy and she promised to take good care of him. Now I see him in a big bewildering crowd in the street with people pushing and shoving, and many cameras around, and without a mother and father to hold his hand. I'm feeling bad for him."
"I am still a poor farmer with nothing to offer, but maybe he'd be better off back with us," he said.
