Madonna’s Lawyer: Adoption To Be Finalized Friday.

Madonna’s lawyer says he is confident that the superstar will be granted permission to adopt a four-year-old girl this week, saying, “I don’t see any law in Malawi that can stop this adoption.”

The material girl’s lawyer, Alan Chinula, tells Usmagazine.com, “I am not sleeping sleepless nights over this. I don’t see any law in Malawi that can stop this adoption.”

On Tuesday (March 31), Madonna’s rep confirmed that the singer is attempting to adopt a four-year-old girl, Chifundo “Mercy” James. The young girl’s unwed teen mother died soon after giving birth.

Chinula says the girl’s uncle, Peter Baneti, “has already signed off the consent forms, and Madonna counter-signed them.”


He added, “She just has to wait to hear from me when I get the result” on Friday.

She is not required to attend the hearing, Chinula says, although she can attend if she chooses to.

The singer, who adopted David Banda in 2006, has been criticized for not following regulations that stipulate that prospective parents must undergo 18 to 24 months of assessment in Malawi before adopting.

However, Chinula says that law is “archaic” and is over 50 years old.

“Laws must be dynamic. They must move with current trends,” he adds.
