Madonna's Second Adoption

Thursday June 11, 2009

Madonna will find out early Friday morning, as in tomorrow, from Malawi's highest court, whether or not she will be able to adopt a little girl after being denied in April. Mercy James is now 4-years-old and Madonna was denied the adoption because according to Malawi law, in order to adopt from the country, one needs to be a resident. The High Court judge Esimie Chombo, besides denying the adoption, stated in her April ruling, that celebrity adoptions could lead to child trafficking.

We'll see what the ruling is tomorrow on Madonna and Mercy, but the buzz seems to be positive in favor of Madonna.
