POP STAR MADONNA SET TO ADOPT MERCY JAMES
The Queen of Pop was pictured with Mercy for the first time [March 31, 2009] as authorities began finalising the adoption arrangements. Four-year-old Mercy held the hand of new sister Lourdes, 12, as she enjoyed her first family outing. They were surrounded by a posse of minders, but Mercy — wearing a blue dress — was seen laughing and smiling as she joined her new family.-TheSun
Meanwhile, the pop star is one step closer to adopting little Mercy James. According to the country’s Minister of information, the Malawian government approves of the adoption.
“Madonna has been good to us, she is supporting over 25,000 orphans in this country and she has proved that she can take care of David,” says Malawian Information Minister Patricia Kaliati. “Very few rich and famous people can take time to fly all the way to Malawi to support our children we support her adoption process.”
Malawi’s High Court is expected to rule on Friday whether Madonna should be granted an interim adoption of a four-year-old Mercy James.

At least she will have better quality of life over here in the States. Poor baby looks stressed though. New culture. contienent, country, language, race.
I hope she can adjust well if it goes through, cause she’s already three or four years old.
I think it’s great for her and that country and the little girl. Live your own life and let others life.
Wonderful for Mercy. Madonna is to be applauded.
but hasn’t that lil girl got a grandmother who wants her? i’m not sure jus askin? did anyone else read that?
hanaboo…The grandmother doesn’t want Mercy to leave Malawi but she can not take care of her herself. I’m not sure how things work over there so I don’t know if she gets to see Mercy on a regular basis or not.
Lourdes looks like she is loving having a little sister.
Her adoption has been denied. I guess they decided to follow their rules this time.
blue.. thanx i wasn’t sure, would be nice for david to have bro or sis from his country to go through life with tho, maybe madonna shud move there for the required length of time if shes really serious?
That is not Mercy James
Mercy, is younger, shorter and looks a little bit like David.
