Madonna Flies Back To London; Leaves Mercy Behind

celeb hat sunglasses baby jacket nyc kabbalah Archive photo

Looks like Madonna has truly given up on her planned adoption, as she has flown back to England and is said to be "devastated" reports the Daily Mail.

The 50-year-old singer already has one adopted child from Malawi - young David Banda, pictured above - but was hoping to return home with Mercy, who greeted her as "Mummy" when they met last week.

Apparently M is taking this pretty bad. A friend reveals that she's "in absolute pieces. This is the first time she has not got something she longed for. Lourdes will also be devastated. She helped get a room ready for Mercy and chose clothes for her."

And despite their divorce and such, the friend adds that "Guy has been pretty supportive of Madonna" despite the fact that he wasn't too enthusiastic about her adopting another kid in the first place.

Was this ruling fair? No matter what you think about M, it's hard to argue with someone who has the means and ability (and desire) to take on raising another child!



Ah well.

Its their rules. She has to follow them like everybody else.

Already calling her Mummy? I'm sure the little girl is crushed. How sad for her to have a chance of having a family and having it taken away.

Just because she bypassed the rules for
David does not give her the right to
adopt another child the same way.. So what live in Africa for a year who cares
that she is a pig who brokeup a marriage
and publicly had a relationship with him. And than went after a 24 year kid..
And that she is not married this time..
makes a big difference.. It is their country they can do what they want get
Angie involved or George Clooney who have a lot of pull in that country

Madonna thinks she is angelina jolie in training. madonna should donate money to the mercy's country, if she wants to be a do gooder. she is heart broken because she is not use to hearing the word NO !

Hahahhaa! Looks good on the cocky biotch! Hahahahhahahahhaah! What a dumb ass!

It is a pity that this poor child is gonna be stuck in an orphanage until is probably attacked or raped and live in poverty her entire life. Yeah, how dare Madonna try and give her a better existance.....

they didn't say that she cannot adopt the girl, they said that she cannot adopt her right away! If Madonna really want to adopt this girl she should follow the rules and stay there around a year.

The Material One is so needy. Buying another child will not fulfill her needs. Just because she has $ does NOT mean little Mercy would be better off with her. She should be able to stay in her own culture. BTW - I have seen photos of Mercy and she does not look abused, she looks content and happy! Can you say that about Lourdes or Rocco? Do you ever see them happy? This judge who handed down the ruling should be commended.

Madonna is funding the orphanage where both David and Mercy are housed and others in Malawi..She has given millions to build schools for these children. Also she already supports over 25,000 orphans in Malawi. Jolie and Pitt haven't done that so please don't mention them in the same breath as Madonna.It's horrible that the judge has chosen to make Madonna an example.She is on record as saying she almost gave the clear for Madonna to adopt Mercy.This judge has never known poor.Hope it doesn't backfire-can't think too many others will even attempt to adopt from here now.

Poor Madonna. Mercy looks like a lovely child.

This is of course all about bribes. Anyone who has dealt with officials in an African country knows that any of them would cheerfully barbeque the child alive if it would mean a little more money in someone's pocket.

After the deal was set up, another judge decided that he should be able to get in on the loot as well.

This can probably be resolved. But why doesn't Madonna adopt an orphan from Sweden or Finland for a change?

Children aren't accessories, they shouldn't be used as such.

When she first adopt David,the media all over the world was against her because she did something illegal using her celbrity power and money .She can't use it to get what she wanted all the time. But still the judge might ll accept her apeal for the sake of the kid.



Posted by: moog

given what millions? according to several reports the money she supposedly collected for malawi "disappeared"- money that was supposed to go towards teaching kabbalah to kids in malawi. WTF?

the only people who seem to have gotten some money are the hotel staff, security guards, kabbalah staff, etc in malawi, and the 3-year-old she's already got, got some nice clothes out of it.

Exactly! Children are NOT accessories.

Just because Madonna has money, it doesn't mean Mercy will be happy in America. If she grows up in America, she will have new problems to complain about such as racism, no mommy time with Madonna., growing up with different nannies, having no privacy due to being paraded by Madonna in public. She will have low self-esteem. Guaranteed. She won't be happy either.

In Malawi, orphanage is like a boarding school. If your relatives have no money to take care of you. You get 3 square meals and schooling in orphanage at least.

If she really cared for this child she would have stayed. REGULAR families that are sincere in their attempt to adopt a child will spend weeks if not months in a country their effort to get that child. Voice of experience!!!



Posted by: Marsha

She and Angelina are just a like. Neither have stayed and followed the
rules. Maybe the kids are better
off, maybe not. At least Madonna
did take David back to visit his
father. Angelina has never stayed
a year any place in the last four
years. Now we have octomom wanting
to be like them.

maybe she should move her boytoy out - whose closer to her daughter's age - and stop screwing married men



Posted by: Lainey

Angelina DID follow the rules of the Countries that she adopted fro, SO get your facts straight. Malawi is protecting their children from child traffickers not Madonna. If Madonna really wants this child perhaps even a little longer stay than a few days would help. But once you make an exception you open the door to evile people who will use Madonna's adoption to obtain children for bad reasons. It happened with David and the government does not want it to happen again.

Cannot help but wonder if this kid will be ok, now that she's been denied adoption. OK madonna is probably crazy BUT the little girl could have a chance with her... now in a orphanage in a 3rd world country.... I live in a 3rd world country, people, it gets pretty rough out there specially if you dont have a family.



Posted by: Anonymous

She seems too immoral. That's probably why.



Posted by: bday

i feel sorry for madonna.she is really bad now.she crys all the time,she is in london now.she met guy too.she said she wont give up on Mercy.she cant belaive that "her little girl is on orphanege again" and she promessed she will take her .lov M

Wake up. This is not Madonna's child.The country has decided that they are not Sams discount store where you jet in and buy their kids in bulk. What if you are I wanted a Malowi kid. It would be the same rules. No is also an answer. If they thought she'd be good for the kid then they would have given it to her. Maybe Madonna should have worked on her behavior and if Guy goes soft and takes her back just because she's messed up her life he's as crazy as Jennifer Anuston for taking back the Mayor guy.



Posted by: if you asked me..........

You know, I think its great that she wants to give a child a better life but, she already had so much trouble with David's adoption why would she go back to the same place? I'm sure she doesn't want to be compared to Angelina but She could have looked somewhere else to find a child. Its crazy for her to think that because she is famous that the rules don't apply to her. I'm sure it was a wake up call. It is sad, Mercy could have had an amazing life with her.

its crul, plain cruel, people are ore about money everywhere, i bet she spent a lot just to have the papers ready, the girl is supposed to sie, its famine out there, are u people crazy, let the woman adopt!!!



Posted by: Anonymous

I'm not a Madonna fan, but I think that it is cruel and stupid that she wasn;t allowed to adopt the little girl. She would have been so much better off!

I hope she fights the system in place in Malawi. Its not about Madonna, its about the lives of children. Any child regardless of its origin is worthy. I hope she gets that child out. Madonna would have given the child millions of others could not have ever dreamed of.

Poor kid and poor Madonna, both would have been very happy if the deal would be on. Also nice for david to have a sister from Malawi as well...
