Madonna’s adoption bid for 3-year-old Mercy James was rejected by a judge in Malawi earlier today. Malawian adoption rules require that a parent live in the country for at least 18 months ahead of an adoption, though this residency regulation was waived with David Banda. The singer did not attend court today, but was apparently very upset when she heard the news.
