Madonna's keeping her baby! Pop star Madonna has legally won the right to adopt a daughter from Malawi.
Madonna said in a statement through her spokesperson Friday, "I am extremely grateful for the Supreme Court's ruling on my application to adopt Mercy James. I am ecstatic ... My family and I look forward to sharing our lives with her."
Preparations are already underway to bring Chifundo "Mercy" James, 3, to America private jet, after the singer stayed up throughout the night hoping for a courtroom victory.
"It's the early hours in New York now but my client has been awake all night waiting for this," Madonna's Malawi lawyer, Alan Chinula, told People. The attorney spoke to his client as soon as the ruling was made official, at around 2 a.m. her time Friday. "She was ecstatic when I broke the news to her. She said, 'Thank heavens.' "
Lesson to be learned. Madonna will get anything she wants.

Was there really ever any doubt that Madonna would get what Madonna wanted?
american dreamer says:
They say Madonna is sending a private jet to return Mercy to New York.
I am willing to bet my life that Madonna spends only a few hours maybe even less with Mercy on her first day in New York.
No way in hell is Madonna gonna cut short her six hour a day work out routine or three hour a day beauty routine for her latest prize.
(Madonna's suffers from the same syndrome as Octomom...trying to fill emotional void with babies she can fully control...just like those old men and women who collect fifty or sixty dogs or cats in their homes.)
me says:
yes because you know her personally.
Bravo to Malawi and to Madonna - victory!

Poor Madge suffers from Dorian Gray syndrome.
Imax says:
me, you don't have to know her personally to know that is exactly how it will go down.
Even your proclomation speak to it ... "victory!"
She won. That's what matters to her.

Is Malawi the only country in the world where children need parents? Why didn't she adopt a child where it's legal?
Breaking laws is fun?
