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.
