She’s been hanging out in Malawi since Sunday along with her kids David Banda and Lourdes, and today Madonna released a statement via her rep Liz Rosenberg that confirmed her plans to adopt another child.
Rosenberg told press, “I can officially confirm that Madonna has filed an application to adopt Mercy James, a three-year-old girl she met at an orphanage she visited two years ago on a previous trip to Malawi.”
In the statement, Rosenberg was also careful to include that Madge is “following all required procedures and is waiting for the judge to hopefully grant adoption by Friday,” in an attempt to rebut speculation that she is using her fame to side-step the proper route.
In a Malawian court hearing yesterday, Madonna was told to come back Friday, as the court wasn’t ready to act on the adoption application.
