LILONGWE, April 15 (Reuters) - Madonna is expected to arrive in Malawi on Monday where she will visit the orphanage from which she adopted a one-year-old boy last year, a top official said on Sunday.

The pop star was initially expected to arrive in the impoverished southern African country on Sunday.

"What we know is that she is expected tomorrow (Monday) and will immediately visit two sites," a senior government official told Reuters.

Madonna will inspect an orphanage being built in Mphandula Village, just outside the capital Lilongwe, that she is helping to fund, as well as the Home for Hope orphanage from where she adopted David Banda six months ago, the official said.

The singer's spokeswoman says she has no plans to adopt another child although media reports suggest Madonna plans to adopt a young girl.

An official from the Home for Hope said she was not sure whether David would accompany Madonna but confirmed she was expected there on Monday.
