Now, Madonna has two children from the African country. Madonna has won an appeal against a lower court decision in Malawi that had denied her to adopt the little girl Mercy and take her to the US.
She had earlier adopted one boy from the same country.
A high Malawian court has ruled that Madonna can adopt a second child from the country, overturning a lower court's decision preventing the queen of pop from bringing home 3-year-old Chifundo "Mercy" James.
The lower court had denied her to adopt Mercy, arguing that Madonna was no longer married and being a single mother, had no right to adopt.
Chief Justice of high Malawian court Lovemore Munlo said that the singer's commitment to helping disadvantaged children should have been taken into account when deciding on Madonna's request to adopt Mercy. Hmm, what about her fame? Just sayin'!
Madonna's lawyer Alan Chinula said he called his client after the ruling and told the press, "It's the wee hours of morning in New York but she is excited at the news. As her lawyer I am happy that this has settled this contentious issue...What the Supreme Court has done is grant a full adoption."
