Madonna's New Daughter Leaves Malawi

Private jet ferries Mercy to London

Share

(Newser) – Madonna’s newly adopted daughter left Malawi for London yesterday on a plane owned by the pop singer, Access Hollywood reports. Chifundo “Mercy” James was accompanied on the flight by a nanny and child nurse, airport sources said, and should meet her new brothers and sisters—including David, also a Malawian orphan—later today.

She and Angelina are like a little old lady that starts to collect cats. Unfortunately, it's not cats, but kids. Reply

The idea of international adoption shouldn't be entirely discredited because it is not always handled in an ideal manner. Reply
