Madonna Leaves Malawi

After her failed adoption attempt Madonna flew back to London to celebrate Passover.

Anne Chikhwaza, Director of the Kondanani Children’s Village, drove to Kumbali Lodge Sunday morning, where Madonna had been staying, to collect Mercy to take her back to the orphanage.

Alan Chinula, Madonna’s attorney, said Sunday:

"We are ready with our grounds challenging [High Court judge] Chombo’s ruling."

Madonna is appealing the adoption denial ruling to the Malawi Supreme Court.

Madonna, nor her attorney, have comment on James Kambewa’s claim that he is the biological father of Mercy, and wants to raise her himself. James Kambewa said he was told Mercy died during childbirth, and only recently became aware his daughter was alive.
