While the media was busy covering Madonna’s latest unsuccessful attempt to adopt another child from Malawi, not much was made of another newsworthy (to me anyway) story that took place during the singer’s recent trip to the African nation. According to reports, the Material Mom made sure her three children–12-year-old Lourdes, 8-year-old Rocco, and 3-year-old David–accompanied her during her pilgrimage to Malawi last week.
