When Madonna wants a Malawi kid, Madonna gets a Malawi kid. At least that's what she thinks apparently as she just launched an appeal to the rejection of her latest adoption attempt. According to AFP:
Lawyer Alan Chinula sought to convince Malawi's Supreme Court that a judge was wrong to deny her application last month to adopt three-year-old Chifundo "Mercy" James.
Madonna was not present, but Chief Justice Lovemore Munlo adjourned the proceedings after only 30 minutes to give the star's lawyers more time to view documents served on them by the country's Human Rights Commission which is opposing the adoption.
Twenty-four-year-old James Kambewa vowed at the weekend to stop Madonna from adopting the girl, saying he was her biological father.
A Human Rights Commission lawyer, Ulemu Kammayani has questioned Kambewa's claims that he can take care of Mercy.

Really, an African father can't take care of his daughter? It should make the news if an African father CAN take care of his daughter. Last I checked, everyone there is poor and pretty much never eats. Maybe Madonna could just adopt the entire continent in one clean sweep. It would save some paperwork.
