(ANI):
Even
though
Madonna's
bid
to
adopt
Malawi
tot
Mercy
James
did
not
go
through,
the
Queen
Of
Pop
has
made
sure
that
the
four-year-old
is
well
taken
care
of
by
leaving
a
nanny
to
look
after
her.
Madge's
request
for
an
interim
adoption
was
turned
down
by
a
court
in
the
capital
Lilongwe
earlier
this
month,
and
Mercy
was
sent
back
to
the
Kondanai
Children's
Home,
while
the
singer
returned
home.
"During
her
farewell
party
at
the
lodge,
Madonna
instructed
a
nurse
and
a
nanny
to
remain
behind
and
care
for
Mercy
while
her
lawyers
appeal," the
Daily
Star
quoted
a
source
as
telling
Britain's
Daily
Mirror.
The
singer,
who
is
appealing
against
the
adoption
ruling,
made
sure
provisions
were
in
place
to
extend
her
care
to
the
child,
according
to
orphanage
director
Anne
Chikhwaza.
"As
Mercy's
legal
guardian,
I
authorise
where
she
goes.
She
is
staying
with
Madonna's
people
as
a
visitor.
There
is
nothing
wrong
with
that," Chikhwaza
said.
Madonna's
appeal
on
the
adoption
bid
is
set
to
be
heard
in
an
African
court
on
May
4.
