Read the info. Look at the picture. Answer the questions.Info:
Madonna has unexpectedly lost her attempt to adopt a second child from Malawi, court sources said today.
A judge and a lawyer said the US singer's application had been rejected because of a requirement that prospective parents had to live in the country for 18 to 24 months.
Madonna had wanted to adopt Chifundo "Mercy" James, who is about four years old.
Had the court approved the 50-year-old's request, she would have been expected to return to the US with the girl tomorrow.
Malawi's child welfare minister had backed the singer's latest adoption proposal but, as when she adopted a 13-month-old boy in 2006, critics accused Madonna of using her fame and money to win favourable treatment. (info from the guardian website, pic taken from theolivepress)
