The boss of Mercy James’ orphanage, the Kondanani Children’s Home in Malawi, tells The Sun that the youngster “could not understand where her new family had gone” following a judge’s decision on Friday to reject Madonna’s adoption bid.
“It’s devastating for Mercy,” Annie Chikhwaza told the British tabloid. “She had bonded with her new family and was calling for Madonna, saying, ‘Where is my Mummy?’ She couldn’t understand where Lola, David and Rocco had gone — she thought they were playing hide and seek. It broke my heart to see her crying out for David as they’d become inseparable.”
