Madonna Is In Malawi, Adopting Mercy James

by on March 29, 2009 | 1 Comment

Madonna, who has already adopted David Banda from Malawi, is in the African country again to adopt another child, Mercy James (Photo here).

Mercy’s grandmother, Lucy Chekechiwa, isn’t fond of the idea of her granddaughter being adopted. She said, “Why doesn’t this singer pick other children? It is stealing. I want to go to court, I won’t let her go.”

Mercy’s mother, who was 18-years-old, passed away a few months after she was born and her father is said to be alive, but his whereabouts are unknown.

If her grandmother was able to take care of her, she wouldn’t be in an orphanage. Madonna will care for these kids much better than anyone else, even though her home is considered “broken” by their standards.

    Madonna has set up an orphan center, set up an all girls school and a center where children and their families can get help all in Malawi. She has also started a charity called Raising Malawi. She has donated millions of dollars into the country. Now she wants to continue her help by adopting some children from there. Allow her to do so. After all if it wasn’t for Madonna, the whole world wouldn’t know of Malawi nor the desperate help it needs, but now after Madonna, everyone’s heard of the country and help if finally getting there.
