Madonna: Adoption Appeal Date Set

She was devastated when the Malawian court system denied her application to adopt a 3-year-old orphan, and now Madonna has begun mounting an appeal.

The “Like a Virgin” songstress is scheduled to be heard on May 4th as she continues to attempt to bring Chifundo “Mercy” James home to live with her adopted son David Banda and naturally-born kids Rocco and Lourdes.

And come her court date next month, Madge will meet privately with three Supreme Court of Appeal judges. Official Joseph Chigona told press, “As with all court cases involving infants, this one will be in chambers, not in an open court.”

Madonna’s Malawian lawyer Alan Chinula says he has high hopes for the appeal. “We believe the lower court judge erred by basing her judgment on an archaic law of over 50 years ago.”
