The singer, 50, is heading to Malawi where she is planning to adopt a child, according to People.com. "We are expecting her this weekend," an official from the Ministry of Women and Child Welfare said.

The official says that Raising Malawi, the charity the singer established there, filed adoption papers for a baby girl, whose identity has not been revealed. "All is set for the adoption; all the paperwork is ready," he says.

Madonna is expected to appear in the High Court in the capital of Lilongwe next week to start the process for the second adoption. The singer's rep had no comment.
