Madonna released a statement confirming her plans to adopt a Malawian girl named Chifundo "Mercy" James. Madonna arrived in Malawi, Soth Africa over the weekend, with her kids David Banda, Lourdes and Rocco.
 

In a statement from her rep, Madonna confirms she is trying to adopt Mercy James, a four-year-old girl she met at an orphanage she visited two years ago on a previous trip to Malawi. The pop superstar is following all required procedures and is waiting for the judge to hopefully grant adoption by Friday.


Mercy's 18-year-old mother was unmarried and died soon after she gave birth. Her father is believed to be alive but has little contact with his daughter.
 

Madonna also took her 3-year-old adopted son, David, to meet his biological father for the first time since he left Malawi in 2006.

I think Madonna should focus on herself before adopting more children
