Madonna Still Waiting On Adoption Hearing

Madonna is still pursuing the adoption of Mercy James from Malawi, telling a South African newspaper on Saturday (April 11) that she wants to provide her with a “loving family environment.”

The Material Girl was prevented from adopting the four-year-old by the High Court, after she launched an appeal in an attempt to overturn their initial decision.

“I want to provide Mercy with a home, a loving family environment and the best education and healthcare possible,” Madonna told the Nation on Sunday. “And it’s my hope that she like David, will one day return to Malawi and help the people of their country.”

She adds, “Though I have been advised that I cannot publicly discuss the pending appeal regarding my desire to adopt Mercy, I do want to say how much I appreciate the level of support that I have received from the people of Malawi and my friends around the world.”

Madonna’s lawyer, Alan Chinula, has lodged a notice of appeal, however, a date for the new hearing had not yet been granted at the time of writing.
