Madonna dumps plan to adopt again

Material Girl will support orphans through her charity instead

Madonna at Heathrow Airport, London, Britain - 17 Feb 2007

Madonna has decided not to adopt another child.

She was hoping to become mum to a Malawian girl called Mercy, 2.

But the red tape that she’s had to deal with over son David Banda, 2, also from Malawi, has put her off.

Instead, Madonna, 49, will support Mercy financially.

‘She wanted to adopt a boy and a girl,’ a source tells The Sun. ‘But Mercy’s relatives objected and she had a complete turnaround. Everyone was stunned.

'Normally nothing will stop her. She now believes David will be the last child she adopts. Instead she will support orphans through her charity.’

Madonna already has daughter Lourdes, 11, with ex Carlos Leon, and son Rocco, 7, with husband Guy Ritchie, 39.
