Lilongwe - Madonna won't know until next week whether a Malawian boy she found in an orphanage in 2006 will become a permanent member of her family, her lawyer said on Wednesday.
Lawyer Alan Chinula had expected the judge to rule on the adoption on Wednesday but said the hearing was delayed after a Malawian human rights group presented arguments on "shortcomings" in the southern African nation's adoption laws.
Chinula said the group was not challenging the adoption and he expected it to be approved next week.
The pop star and her husband, film director Guy Ritchie, were not present at Thursday's hearing in the Malawian capital. They have been caring for the boy, David Banda, in London. He turns 3 in November.
