BBC News: The father of the Malawian boy adopted by singer Madonna now says he would not have agreed to adoption if he knew it meant giving up his son "for good". Yohane Banda said adoption services in Malawi had never told him the procedure meant that 13-month-old David would no longer be his son. Mr Banda had previously said the adoption was for the best of his child. David was flown to Britain to live with Madonna after a Malawian judge granted her a temporary order to take him. Malawi's High Court will on Friday hear a legal challenge to the adoption brought by a human rights group which argues that foreign adoptive parents must live in Malawi for 18 months.
