Madonna wants to be mum to African girl called Mercy James

Singer said to have sent her aides to Malawi

Madonna now has 3 kids but wants 4

Madonna is said to have set her heart on becoming mum to a second child from Malawi.

Her adoption of David Banda, 3, was finalised early this year and now the singer has renewed efforts to take home a little girl called Mercy James whose mum died after giving birth.

The toddler's uncle objected to the move last year but Madonna, 49, is believed to have sent out aides to the African country to persuade Mercy's relatives to let her go.

Gran Anaphiri, 63, is still against the adoption as she believes her granddaughter's stay in an orphanage as just a temporary situation.

‘When Mercy is no longer a baby we want her back,’ she told a Daily Mirror reporter. ‘I do not want the money they said they'd give me.’
