Madonna has spoken out for the first time since her bid to adopt Mercy James was denied. Although heartbroken, she isn’t going to give up and has filed an appeal.
Madonna said, “I want to provide Mercy with a home, a loving family environment and the best education and healthcare possible. And it’s my hope that she, like David, will one day return to Malawi and help the people of their country.”
She added, “Though I have been advised that I cannot publicly discuss the pending appeal regarding my desire to adopt Mercy, I do want to say how much I appreciate the level of support that I have received from the people of Malawi and my friends around the world.”
Madonna, 50, was successful in 2006 with her adoption of David Banda, now 3, from Malawi, and she hopes she’ll soon have Mercy as well.
The pop star is rumored to be building a home in Malawi – it would put her one step closer to being able to adopt Mercy.
