Director Guy Richie and pop singer Madonna have proved themselves to be very good parents, because adopted son David Banda has grown into an "excellent" child, according to official documents leaked to the media. The superstar couple brought the then-two-year-old Banda back to Britain from a Malawian orphanage in 2006, but caused controversy after it was claimed they had side-stepped the official adoption process. However, the Ritchie's appear to have won over Malawian authorities, with a new court report praising the couple’s parenting skills.The document states: "Mr and Mrs Ritchie have shown a strong commitment in providing the infant with all essential needs like love, safe home environment, care, protection, material as well as emotional support." The report, filed by ministry official Simon Chisale, goes on to say little David’s "bonded well with the couple and other key members of the household", and "continues to develop into a happy, thriving toddler. His survival, growth and development is excellent". The case is due to be reviewed at the Malawian High Court on May 15th, when a judge is expected to formally approve the permanent adoption of the lucky child. Madonna has already had the hearing postponed twice, because of her busy schedule for her new album Hard Candy.
