Madonna Refused Adoption of Second Malawi Child
Madonna's quest to adopt another child from Malawi has been refused by the court on the ground that the adoptive parent should be living in the country for a minimum period of a year and a half.
There was a hearing on Monday and the ruling was adjourned to today.
Her plan to adopt has been criticised by some, who argue that the child should be with his/her family in their home community. The child Chifundo James, also known as Mercy James, has two uncles and a grandfather.
In 2006 Madonna adopted Malawi child David Banda, amidst some controversy. She successfully argued to have the residency requirement waived in that case.
