Madonna: She's A Great Mum

Madonna's mother-in-law has described the singer and husband Guy Ritchie as "loving and wonderful parents".

Speaking about their adoption of Baby David on GMTV Shireen Ritchie "It is working very well. They are wonderful parents - loving and wonderful parents.”

"And he's a very lucky little boy."

She added: "Adoption processes in other countries are different, that's true.

"But I mean I think what we have in Britain today is a very robust system which puts the child at the heart of the adoption system.”

"It is the interests of the child, what is best for the child, that is considered the whole time."

Madonna and her husband were granted temporary custody of toddler David Banda, then 13 months old, last October after his father placed him in an orphanage following the death of his mother.

The singer began the adoption process after she found David in the orphanage while in Malawi to launch a project to help the country's two million Aids orphans.
