No Adoption Plans For Madonna

August 14th, 2008

Reports that Madonna is planning to adopt a three-year-old Malawian girl are not true her representative said on Wednesday (August 13).

British tabloid The Sun reports that Madonna resumed plans to adopt Mercy James, after halting proceedings due to the alleged breakdown of her marriage to Guy Ritchie.

The article quotes Malawian adoption minister Penstone Kilembe as saying, “Madonna’s representatives have been visiting the girl. The adoption is now advanced — all the government is waiting for is Madonna to forward the petition of adoption formalities.

“Then Mercy will be able to leave the country for a new life.”

The Material Girls rep, Liz Rosenberg, told Usmagazine, “Madonna has not made an attempt to adopt this baby earlier this year or now.”

She added, “There is not truth to this rumor.  It’s an old one – wasn’t true then or now.  Madonna is starting her tour in a week.”
