Madonna said she offered to leave adopted son with father
Madonna opens up to the Today show’s Meredith Vieira about her controversial adoption of the 13-month-old boy, David Banda, from Malawi. She tells Vieira that she offered to leave the boy with her father and to help him out financially, but he declined.

So, when he said no, that was my sign that it was my responsibility to look after him.
