Madonna visits Chkhota Village in Malawi where she has bought land to build part of her Raising Malawi school for girls on Sunday (March 29).

The 50-year-old entertainer is reportedly in Malawi to adopt her second child, Mercy James.

Madge is pictured below with Eric Borgstein, the Chief Advisor of Pediatric Care for her Raising Malawi Charity. She also takes a look at a map of the land which she purchased.

I’m happy for Mercy to be adopted this is the same little girl that madonna wanted to adopt when she had david ! I’m glad to see Madonna stood by her word for Mercy because can you imagine if she adopted a different kid when she promised mercy she would take her home? good madonna i’m glad you stuck with Mercy!

Stella–
You have obviously never been to a third world country or else you would thank Madonna for adopting another child from Malawi. You obviously have never been hungry and subsisted on a half cup or less of food a day. So hungry that you would sell one of your children into prostitution to save the rest. So hungry that you would turn to prostitution to survive. You obviously have never seen open sewers running through a city like Nairobi complete with the stench and the germs and the diseases.

Mercy will have a chance at a better life. I don’t care for Madonna, but everything I’ve heard and read says she is a great mom. I think Mercy will be very lucky to have her as a mom and Madonna will be even luckier to have this little girl as a daughter.

And it is my understanding that Madonna is teaching David (and Mercy) about their home land and their culture so that if they wish they can help make things better for the future of some of the other children when they are older.

I’m not surprized she has press - she never does anything without media coverage.

Um, you need to rewrite that - it says she is there to adopt her SECOND child. She already has THREE children. So she is either there to adopt her FOURTH child or she is there to adopt for the SECOND time.

Whatever Madonna’s intentions, there is no question that this child will have a better life in America. For one thing, she will survive to be an adult. She will be educated and maybe someday, like her brother David, they will go back to Malawi to help their own people. I commend Madonna for giving David and this little girl a chance, a chance they will not have if they stayed in their own country. I wish more people would follow her lead and give more children a chance for a better and meaningful life.

I love how the haters claim she’s just adopting for the PR, yet here she is in Malawi looking less than glamorous. If it was about media attention and getting her picture in the papers, you’d think she’d have worn makeup.

Can’t stand her!

don’t really care one way or the other;
atleast she has the money to give the poor
girl a chance. Although I heard about her tax
return&all of the money she raised was put
thru kabbalah why she couldn’t give it directly
to a charity org already established there is beyond me.

Run Mercy Run! Don’t go near the scary old lady!

Madonna has set up an orphan center, set up an all girls school and a center where children and their families can get help all in Malawi. She has also started a charity called Raising Malawi. She has donated millions of dollars into the country. Now she wants to continue her help by adopting some children from there. Allow her to do so. After all if it wasn’t for Madonna, the whole world wouldn’t know of Malawi nor the desperate help it needs, but now after Madonna, everyone’s heard of the country and help is finally getting to a country in desperats need of halp. WELL DONE MADONNA

she is looking older by the second.
BECAUSE OF THE ADOPTION, folks?
GRANDMA can’t take it any longer?

I think it is cool to see Madonna without makeup or weirdness and looking her age. What’s wrong with looking 50 if you are 50 anyway?

Frankly, I would rather she give up the leotards and attempts to maintain some sex symbol status and try aging a little more gracefully. We all have to do it - I expected a lot more style and a lot less denial out of Madonna.

Sigh.

oh man, her face is not looking good, all the plastic surgery and she still looks so busted. never noticed until these close ups that she also had some work done to her nose again. it’s more filled in and not as narrowed as her first nose job..

her adopting another child when she barely stays home to raise the ones she has is simply pathetic.

Everyone’s talking about how she LOOKS? She’s getting things done. That’s the most important. She’s using her money and fame for something good. And this is a HUGE and EXPENSIVE good. Who cares if she looks old, I mean, what kind of society is this? Women are complaining that we live in an ageist society, but look who fuels it! I’m 24 and I love her music. It actually has a little meaning. What are you listening to? “All eyes on me on the center of the ring just like a circus”? Yah, that’s REAL music, my butt!

Too much surgery madge, too much! Don’t go from icon status to joke status!

ROLE MODEL !!!

I thinks thats great! Its better to have a rich mother then to live in Malawi!
Let the child have a chance in life!

Btw.. her lips look fuller

sorry for my english, I think the problem of adoption those 2 kids, is more material. She does her best to leave her money to the kids after she will be gone in 20-30 years. It simple, she is into leaving her fortune to kids she has or adopted instead to give any foundations. And remember that she’s still doing a lot for kids out there, building that school in Malawi and spending tones of money for it!

claudio alves trajano @ 03/30/2009 at 11:25 am

keep me posted

What’s wrong with her? Is Malawi the only country in the world where children need parents? Why is it so necessary to break the law?
I feel kinda sorry for Rocco, he should stay with his dad, not with this creepy woman.

dumb ugly *****
she doesnt deserve the kid!
old hag! lol that tooth gap is hilarious

concerned mom @ 03/30/2009 at 7:15 pm

Stealing another child whose grandmother can’t afford to keep her but was promised to get her back when she turned 6. Instead of adopting these children who will be raised by nannies, why doesn’t she put her money out there to help the plight of all the children at that orphanage and community????

Why would she go out in public looking so disgusting? Oh yeah, I forgot she can’t help it.
