Music mogul Madonna had much to celebrate besides the New Year. The 49-year-old singer was not only granted official approval to adopt David, her two-year-old son from Malawi, but the adoption official responsible for the case has described her as the "perfect mum."

According to reports from British newspaper The Sun, the caseworker witnessed how David enjoyed a happy and relaxed relationship with Madonna and Guy and “enjoyed being cuddled”.

Madonna was so chuffed by the glowing report that she organized a $200,000 holiday celebration for the family. They jetted off to India to ring in the New Year in the most exclusive $4,000-a-night suite at Jaipur’s Ummed Bhavan Palace hotel.

The superstar is now said to be turning her sights on adopting a little girl from Cambodia. She is believed to have chosen Cambodia after being impressed by Angelina Jolie’s adoption of Maddox, six, from the country in 2002. Showbiz Spy reports that Madonna originally looked at Malawi for a girl. But a pal said: “Malawi is bound up in red tape and she hopes that Cambodia will be easier.”
