The link is a long article but here are a few snips. The baby has quite a few living relatives it seems and it seems there is a little bit of a rift between the father's side and the mother's side.

In a deeply moving interview, she told yesterday how her daughter, Malita, who died a few days after the birth, was too weak to even hold the baby - and how, with her husband Andersen, she tried in vain to save the young woman's life, at one point ferrying her by ox cart to a nearby village to get medicine.

Their story might never have been heard. For what is all too starkly clear is that the couple have been cut out of David's life as effectively as if he too had died with their daughter.

However, they refuse to condemn the actions of their son-in-law, David's father Yohane, and his family who gave up the baby to Madonna without even informing them. But neither will they deny that they are concerned about David's future.

"Of course we would have expected to be informed but that's between us and their family,' says Andersen. "If taking the child to the orphanage was in his best interests we are happy.

"We are at the tail end. The decisions have already been made. David's other family have made their decision without discussing it with us so we have no say in it.

Andersen also has fond memories of his daughter, who he describes as a quiet, home-loving child and a committed Christian. "She used to go to church a lot and sang in the choir. She would walk to church and then come back and sit here - she wouldn't run about like the other children."

Malita and Yohane met during his visits to Chimala village, where the Lungus were living at the time and where Yohane's aunt lived. Despite the rift between the families, Andersen describes Yohane as a hard-working man who 'fitted in with my daughter's character. After they got married in 1990, I never heard of any problems between them. They were a very happy family'.

In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday last week, Yohane spoke of his bitterness at Malita's parents for turning their back on him and the baby.

But the Lungus insist he never asked them to take the child. "If he had, we would have said yes,' Andersen insists.

Makes me wonder if the father allowed Madonna to take the baby without telling the mother's parent's for spite?
