Madonna Visiting Malawi with her Children

Tuesday October 27, 2009

Madonna is in the headlines again, this time traveling to Malawi for the groundbreaking at her charity's new school for girls - Raising Malawi Academy for Girls. All four of Madonna's children accompanied her on the trip, which included a visit to the orphanage that David lived in before his 2008 adoption. 4-year-old David and his siblings, Lourdes, Rocco and Mercy, even got to see the crib where he slept. What a great opportunity for the whole family. I hope this is a trip that Madonna will help David and her children document in their lifebooks.

Madonna adopted David and Mercy from Malawi among much controversy due to the minimum residency law that is required of foreigners wishing to adopt from the country.

This does give Madonna and family an awesome opportunity to really add something special to her children's lifebooks - especially if they paused to take a picture of David with his old crib. What are some of your favorite lifebook tips or ideas? Click here and share your ideas.
