Madonna Is Gearing Up To Grab Another Kid

Operation Jolie-Pitt single mom Madonna is in effect! The whispers are about to turn from "rumor" to "fact" as 50 year-old Madge prepares to fly to Malawi later this week in a bid to adopt another tiny tot from the impoverished country. M's first attempt was met with much controversy when it was later learned that her youngest son's father was still alive. Many questioned if rules had been bent to accommodate the ultra-wealthy singer. In return, she has created both a charity as well as a documentary about the plight of Malawi. She allegedly wishes to bring home Mercy James, a female toddler whose mother died in childbirth. Technically single mothers have a more difficult time proving they can provide for an adopted child, though there's no doubt  Madge is equipped with a cadre of care. Incidentally, Madonna's dogged desire to adopt again and Guy Ritchie's staunch refusal was reported as one of the many things that drove the former couple apart. However, one can't argue  that being adopted by the icon would change a child's life for the better in many ways. Good luck, M!
