The Malawi Supreme Court ruled in favor of Madonna this morning, granting her the right to adopt three year-old Mercy James. It's been a long and windy road for the material girl, whose first attempt was denied due to residency laws. The final ruling came early this morning, much to the relief of the Queen of Pop, who stayed up all night waiting for the results!
- I am extremely grateful for the Supreme Court's ruling on my application to adopt Mercy James," said Madonna in a statement. She continued, "I am ecstatic … My family and I look forward to sharing our lives with her."
Now it's just a matter of finalizing paperwork and scheduling the actual adoption. Madonna should have her new little girl in less than a week.
Congratulations, M!
