Mercy for Madonna

Posted on by

Madonna will be allowed to adopt four-year-old Chifundo (in English the name means “Mercy”) James after all, Malawian judges have decided. The three judges of Malawi’s highest court, in a June 12 session, overruled a lower court’s denial of Madonna’s adoption petition. Malawian law says that an adopting parent must have been a resident of Malawi for eighteen months. This requirement was waived when Madonna adopted her son David. She was allowed to take David home in 2006, and a Malawian court gave her and her then-husband Guy Ritchie permanent custody in May 2008 following an evaluation by social welfare … Continue reading →
