BEIJING, Nov. 2 -- Madonna said Tuesday that the father of the African boy she is trying to adopt refused her offer of financial assistance to help him keep his son.

Some critics have said it would have been better for 13-month-old David Banda if Madonna had helped his impoverished father to care for him at home in Malawi rather than bringing the boy to live with her and her family in London.

"I said I would be happy to ... bring him back to your village and help you financially raise him. And he said no," Madonna said.

"I think he truly felt in his heart of hearts -- and who knows if he was telling me the truth -- that he (David) would have a better life with me. So when he said no, that was, you know, that was my sign that...it was my responsibility to look after him."

The boy's father, Yohane Banda, said last week that he feared criticism of the adoption would prompt the singer to drop her efforts, and he urged her not to do so.

Banda left his son with the Malawian orphanage where Madonna found him after his wife died shortly after childbirth. He lost two other children in infancy to malaria.

The singer's efforts to adopt David Banda have set off a media storm, one that Madonna said reflects "our inability to focus on the real problems and our desire to have distractions and to be consumed with people's personal lives and gossip."

LEave Madonna alone. There are thousands of "ordinary people" out there that have adopted children from Africa, China, Rumania etc all foreign countries to their own country. It is BS that they pick on Madonna and single her out.

The whole "issue" was created by the vultures, errrr I mean the media, in order to make a story. I don't believe anything those cretins churn out these days.

I have never been a Madonna fan and likely never will, but the woman has actively contributed to charities, written children's books (that one shocked me when I first read about it), and has given an impoverished child a chance for a life that he would otherwise not dreamed of having. All of this crap says a lot more about the vultures, errr I mean the media, than it does about her.
