BLANTYRE, 4 May 2009: The controversy surrounding the adoption of a four-year-old girl Mercy James in Malawi by US pop singer Madonna resurfaces in an appeal case Monday.
The hearing would be held in Malawi’s Supreme Court of Appeal after the Malawi High Court rejected the popular singer’s adoption bid last month.
The pop singer through local lawyer Allan Chinula appealed against the ruling after Judge Esmie Chombo ruled that Madonna could not adopt Mercy James in a case that made international headlines.
The High Court ruled that there was no evidence that Mercy was not being looked after well at her current orphanage. Madonna wants to adopt a second child from the southern African country to be a sister to David, whom she adopted in a similar case in 2006.
