Madonna Gives Mercy a Piggyback Ride!
Madonna gives her newly adopted daughter Mercy a piggyback ride after attending services at the Kabbalah center in London, England on Saturday (June 27).
Earlier in the month, Malawi courts finally granted Madonna the opportunity to adopt Mercy after much legal wrangling.
Also pictured below is Guy Ritchie spending time with son, David Banda, in London on Friday (June 26).
10+ pictures inside of Madonna and Guy Ritchie spending time with Mercy and David Banda…

Awesome !!! Congratulations Madonna !!!
CUTE BABY …..CONGRATS TO YOU MADONNA :):)
i wonder how much did she paid under the table just to have the adoption approved.
Here come the HATERS! Madonna is not going to read your CRAP!!! lol What an adorable child Mercy is! Congrats to Madonna and Family.
God bless Madonna and her beautiful family.
either way, she’s getting to have a better life now than where she was in the orphanage. Congrats. I hope the whole family adapts to the new addition happily
awww mercy is super cute :) anyone who adopts a child gets love from me.
it looks like M finally got some sun. she looks fantastic.
good mom
I JUST HOPE SHE REALLY CARE FOR THEM
Little girl to herself: “How do I get off this old Ho?”
god shes so obsessed
Aw sweet pictures, and damn her skin is perfection, the woman looks fit and awesome for a 50 year old.
Don’t die Madonna!
Mercy had family in Malawi who wanted to keep her. Madonna should have adopted one of the thousands of children who don’t have anyone!
right on Phil #11.
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!
I see madge went dressed appropriately at least. 50 trying to look 15.
I that Mercy was still a little babe.
I’ve seen happier looking kids in Somalian refugee camps.
I’m SO happy Madonna got to adopt this little girl. She’s going to have such a great life now because she has a wonderful family to take care of her.
madonna is the best! admire and congratulate you on living life as
HOW OLD IS MERCY?
Ugly kids look like Zahara
That’s great to know that Mercy will have all the best conditions to be happy and healthy. I really believe that Madonna already loves her a lot, she fought so hard to have Mercy with her and the other kids and I wish all the best for the family.
she took the child away from her family, sweet.
Please. Her brother has said that she only adopted these children for publicity.
She needs to stop trying to compete with Jolie. ONE Jolie is plenty for the world. :P
What a cute little sweetie pie. Glad Guy was able to spend time with David.
As a very proud Malawian I congratulate Madonna on this because, in my opinion, she has just given a child the opportunity for a better life. When you look at how these children suffer back home (Malawi), you can’t help but wish someone would do something to help. She has strong ties to Malawi and those two kids will therefore always have that connection to Malawi. My one concern is obviously the fact that Mercy’s father claims to still want her. In all honesty if Mercy does stay with him, in a couple years that child will end up back in an orphanage or worse.
This, however, should not indicate that all Malawian orphans can be bought or easily handed over to anyone. And there is still plenty to be debated on this issue ofcourse.
I’m still and always will be Proudly Malawian!!

This pic of Madonna with Mercy is just adorable…petite mercy has a peacefully look..how can u can be against the happiness of a little girl!!! Only Madonna could offer her a real future…Thank God,those judges had some good sense of reality!!!
And let the photo ops and publicity begin…welcome to the U.S. and the fame game Mercy!
When they get a little older, hopefully they can be like a little black Hansel and Gretel, escaping from the witch’s cauldron and finding their way back to their village and other human beings.
She’s adorable!
The kid looked way better in the former pic from the orphanage.Helping kids is a good thing but I question Madona’s motives sorry.
looks like family time!
I don’t understand the connection between white, bimbo americans with african babies. They treat them like diamonds being drop from the sky. I’m not against it because i’m fine with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt adopting gazzilion kids, but come on fighting and going to court just to get ONE FREAKING BABY. It’s abit too ridiculous and not forgetting who’s gonna adopt the other starving babies? RIDICULOUS!
The average life expectancy for women in Malawi is 48!
Anyone who attacks Madonna for giving Mercy a better life is scum.
How old is that kid? She’s HUGE. I thought she was 3, or 4.

Did that make you feel good, stupid fu*king racist. You are born ugly and no amount of plastic surgery can change that. Your mother should be ashamed she dumped an ugly piece of garbage like you on the world. Your are ugly inside and out Lucifer !!!
I applaud Madonna for what she is doing. She is always going to attract controversy because there are people who object to what people like Madonna is doing because they are racist, they feel black kids don’t deserve good life, it is better for them to die in orphanages and some completely consumed with jealousy for the type of life these children will get to experience. I am happy Madonna and others don’t let things like racism deter them from offering these children opportunities in life. She should be commended for loving and offering a home to these poor children. I was never a fan of hers, liked some of her earlier music but I admire her for her charity work and having a good heart, having the guts to fight for what she believes and that she succeeded in adopting Mercy. It is one life saved from a life time of misery and that is good.
@uhhuh right.:
That’s not true. He never said that and he hasn’t even spoken to her in years! He doesn’t even know David and David’s been with them for nearly 3 years.
Her family approved of the adoption and signed the papers.
I don’t know why everyone wanted this girl to live her life in an orphanage, now she has a family and siblings. By the way, Rocco, David, and Lola were all there together with Madonna and Guy.
Why her if she had a family? I don’t understand Madonna, she’s one weird woman

Glad Mercy is doing well. She almost seems taller than David or maybe it’s because Madonna’s so tiny.
Madonna. One scary B****. I think I’ll pass commenting her.
At 3:17 am.
Well said, Gracie.
Madonna needs to quit copying Angelina with the adoptions.
CUTE!!!
Congrats Madonna! Mercy is an adorable lil girl

STOP BEING RACIST!!!!

======================================================
If Mercy’s family could have taken care of her, she wouldn’t have been in an orphanage. Unless orphanages work differently in Africa kids are supposed/allowed to get adopted.
A child in need is a child in need no matter where she lives. Mercy’s family in Malawi did NOT want her, not until Madonna wanted to adopt her that is. If they wanted her why was she in an orphanage with none of them bothering to visit her? They probably smelled money after Madonna wanted to adopt her. She will have a much better life now.

Every child in this world is beautiful. How dare you make a comment like that.. You don’t even deserve to have a family if you do..What values would you teach your own children.
Madonna congratulations with your beautiful new daughter. Its great to know Mercy will have a wonderful life.. Good for you Madonna
I am not a Madonna fan,but she comes off as a good andrealparent.
Regardless about the adoption of this real child,,Mercy WILL HAVE a great life…the best food,water,clothing,shelter, education, and medical care. …All things she would not have had in her nativeAfrican country. Oh yeah,she is NOT going to be sold into child salvery,prosition,be circumsized,be married for payment at 13 and start pregnancy ASAP before the body is mature and die in childbirth, die ofstravation,be as refugee,die of AIDS,and ifshe had stayed there ,anyone or more of these things would have happened to her.
@gracie: My Gosh, I agree. How cruel can some people be? Sally.g what you said was more than terrible. You must be a very unhappy person. So bad for you.
Madonna is doing an amazing job..
They look adorable!
great photos
no matter what any of the haters say…Mercy will be in much better hands with madonna than living in malawi.
OH AND MADONNA’S HAT AND SUNGLASSES ARE FANTASTIC!
God bless you Madonna.you’re such a kind hearted woman.
