Madonna has won an appeal against a judge's ruling which would allow her to adopt a second Malawian child. The Queen of Pop had been preparing to adopt four-year-old Chifundo ���Mercy��� James but her application had been rejected by a court. The 50-year-old had to face dejection as she was told that prospective parents had to be resident in the country for 18 to 24 months, reports the Sun.
Madonna���s lawyer had lodged an appeal to overturn the judge's decision and now the date for the hearing has been marked for May 4. The case involving Mercy���s fate would come up before three Supreme Court of Appeal judges. The singer, who is presently recovering from a nasty horse fall, had adopted three-year-old David Banda from the African country in 2006.
