Earlier today we learned the Malawian court has denied Madonna‘s bid to adopt Chifundo Mercy James by citing a residency requirement that insists that prospective parents of potential adoptees establish residency in Malawi for 18-24 months before they can be approved. This just in, the lawyer representing Madonna in her adoption bid has announced that he has filed an appeal with the Malawian court — by instruction of his client — in order to have the initial ruling overturned. Maddy is fighting on to adopt Mercy James:
Popstar Madonna has appealed a court ruling preventing her from adopting a second child from Malawi, her lawyer said on Friday. “I just filed the notice of appeal this afternoon on instructions from my client,” Alan Chinula told Reuters. A high court ruled earlier on Friday that Madonna would not be allowed to adopt a second child, a 4-year-old girl named Mercy James, from the country.
It remains to be seen what will come from Madonna’s appeal to overturn the ruling but, as I’ve said all along, Madonna usually gets what Madonna wants. If we know anything about Madonna it’s that she is deffo a fighter and she rarely takes no for an answer. Will Maddy be successful in her bid to become Mercy James‘s mother? We shall soon see.

who knows if its been brought up already( probably has) but the main point EVERYONE should think about is
is living with paps constantly photographing you and crreeeeeeeping around your home all that better? I think its a different kind of sad living situation.
also, remember that children are raised differently in other countries so just because they cant afford pampers and pack and plays doesnt mean they can’t afford which is need to survive. I’d like to know more about the grandmother and less about mommie dearest to be honest
I figured that Madonna would be denied considering the issues she had with David’s adoption. It really is too bad considering the opportunity that a child in her family could have.
Despite what anyone may think about Madonna and , her children seemed well loved and cared for, it is a shame that as of right now Mercy has been denied that. Even with the papparazzi in their lives it would still beat living in an orphanage. I wish there was more resources and money available to myself when I was growing up. I guess adopting from Malawi isn’t really an option for the regular folk since there is that residency rule.
lo0l I can totally picture vadge going batshut crazy after she heard the news. Like “EWHAT DONT THEY FUCKING KNOW WHO I AM???!!!! IM THE QUEEN OF POP IM ABOVE THE LAW!!! LAWYER YOU GO TELL HIM!”
