Mercy James Hangs Out With Her BFFs In Malawi Before Heading Home With Madonna
As you may recall, the Malawian appeals court ruled that Madonna’s adoption of Chifundo Mercy James can move forward and cleared the way for the little girl to be issued a passport so that she can be moved to the US to live with her mother-to-be … but while the legal paperwork is being sorted out, little Mercy is spending as much time as she can chillin’ with her friends at the orphanage in Malawi before the move. Here is an adorable pic of Miss James with her supercute little friends:
Mercy James is spending her final days in Malawi playing with friends, completely unaware her life is about to change beyond all recognition. The four-year-old has been photographed enjoying the company of her nursery school classmates with a huge smile on her face as her new life with Madonna draws near. The singer has been speaking to her new daughter every night as she prepares to move to New York. Sources close to the singer say she has been calling Mercy James at the safe house where she has been staying in Lilongwe, Malawi. “Mercy can only understand and answer basic issues like ‘greetings’ and ‘what have you eaten?’ but Madonna insists on speaking to her daily,” said a source. “On Sunday night, she told her: ‘Mommy is waiting for you across the seas. Your big sister, Lola, has decorated a room for you. You will like it’” … Malawi’s Supreme Court overturned a lower court ruling in April which said Madonna could not adopt Mercy James because she was not a resident of the southern African country.
What an absolutely beautiful group of children! Madonna is very lucky to be able to add Mercy to her family. I am DYING to see photos of Mercy with her new family … I know that they will love and care for her with all their hearts. I hope that little Mercy will be able to reunite with these friends in the future … it’d be a shame if this time spent with these cute little girls is her last.

They’re all definitely cuties – I guess I was drawn to the 2 on the right because their smiles aren’t AS lively… made me want to nurture? LOL
Mercy’s a lucky girl!!!! She’ll always be taken care of for sure!

I hope she won’t miss them too much, though admittedly at this age children easily forget.
