Guy Ritchie Offers Madonna Support Following Failed Adoption Bid
Madonna’s ex-husband Guy Ritchie is reacting to news the singer’s bid to adopt 3-year-old Mercy James was rejected Friday by a Malawi judge. A requirement that the Material Girl would have had to spend 18-24 months in the country was waived for Madonna’s first adoption, but was cited as the reason for the denial this time around. Richie stated, “I fully supported Madonna in her decision to apply for this adoption, and I am saddened that her application has been rejected. She is motivated only by being a caring parent who seeks to share some of the advantages and opportunities that her life has given her. Madonna is a fantastic and loving mother who cares deeply about her own children, and children who may need additional help and support. This time it did not work out, but there will be other opportunities and I wish her well in them. She is a great mum.”
