After a lengthy legal battle with Malawi’s high court, Madonna will become a mother once again to an African orphan.
The 50-year-old has won an appeal overturning a ruling which barred her from adopting because she wasn’t a resident of the country — the same law that was overlooked for her controversial adoption of David Banda in 2006.
The singer will soon be collecting three-year-old Chifundo Mercy James from the orphanage where they met last year and flying her to London to join the rest of her children, including fellow Malawian adoptee, David.
“I am ecstatic,” Madonna said in a statement. “My family and I look forward to sharing our lives with her.”
