Madonna is David's mama now

Madonna is little David's mother now, thanks to a ruling in Africa.

The long road for little David has finally had some closure, and he is now legally part of Madonna's family.

Madonna's lawyer released a statement, saying, "We are very happy with what the judge has ruled. It is a positive and beautiful judgment that will have an impact on Malawi's adoption laws."

The adoption was fraught with controversy, critics slamming the Malawi government of flouncing existing laws that ban non-residents from adopting children.

However, David's biological father wanted Madonna to be able to take care of his child.
