The ‘4 Minutes’ singer – who is in the final stages of formally adopting two-year-old Malawian son David Banda – is keen to open her home to a disadvantaged Indian tot after she fell in love with the country following her visit this year.

During the trip – on which Madonna was accompanied by husband Guy Ritchie, David and her two other children Lourdes, 11, and seven-year-old Rocco – the family spoke to Bollywood choreographer Sandip Soparrkar, who has adopted an Indian baby.

Sandip said: “We spoke about how there are so many children in India who need homes.”

Madonna – who has given up her attempt to adopt a little girl from Africa after growing frustrated with the process – and Guy initially clashed over the idea but they have now decided it will be good for the family.

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Madonna was very taken with Sandip. He told her there were orphans who would melt her heart. Guy was against the idea, but when she wants something, she gets it.

“After the stress of adopting David, Guy thought Madonna was mad to want to go through it all again. But they talked and talked and decided adopting a baby from India would be easier.”

The couple started the process of adopting David in October 2006. Last week, Madonna was deemed a suitable mother by Malawian officials and it was recommended that David should stay with the couple at their family home in London.

The adoption is due to be formalised in the near future.
