Madonna Pleads To Judge To Adopt Mercy James

Court sources tell The Sun that Madonna told Malawian Judge Esmie Chombo that she was a “deeply loving mother” who would care for 4-year-old Mercy James as well as her own in the singer’s bid to adopt a second African orphan. Mercy’s uncle Peter Baneti is expected to come to court this week and sign papers allowing his niece to be adopted. The judge will make his ruling on Friday, and Madge hopes to leave with Mercy the following day.
