Madonna’s latest bid at the orphan market was rejected by a Malawi judge this morning. From Us Weekly:
Madonna‘s application to adopt Chifundo “Mercy” James, 3, was turned down by a Malawi judge Friday morning in court, Usmagazine.com has confirmed.
The judge cited requirements that adoptive parents reside in the country for 18 to 24 months.
Madonna, 50, can appeal against the order. She adopted David Banda, 3, in 2006 without meeting the residency requirements, which caused outrage by non-governmental groups that felt she was using her celebrity status to bend the law.
Judge Esme Chombo had been expected to sign off on the adoption at Lilongwe High Court.
Madonna’s lawyer Alan Chinula told Us Wednesday: “I am not sleeping sleepless nights over this. I don’t see any law in Malawi that can stop this adoption.”
Well, I guess either this will drag itself out in Malawi courts, or Madonna will have to find a new orphan to buy. Either way, I couldn’t care less if I tried.
