all about Madonna

The Malawian man thought to be the biological father of a four-year-old girl Madonna hopes to adopt says he’s opposed to it.

The pop superstar’s appeal of a judge’s decision rejecting her attempt to adopt Chifundo “Mercy” James is slated to be heard Monday, reportedly by Lovemore Munlo, the Chief Justice of the poor southern African nation.

In an Early Show world exclusive, James Kambewa tells correspondent Priya David, “I want to take care of her and I’m capable to take care of my baby. … Mercy, she is a Malawian — so (I) need her to grow as a Malawian, as well with our culture.”

Kambewa, who wears a necklace he made bearing his daughter’s name, has never held or even met her, and says he’s only seen her “in newspapers and TV, not face to face.”

The interview will be featured in an Early Show three-part series about Madonna’s adoption starting Monday.

Lucy Chekechiwa, Mercy’s maternal grandmother, says she remains conflicted about the matter, telling David the orphanage has been determined. “I did not want my granddaughter to be adopted,” she says, “but because they have been persistent enough, I have been forced to let my granddaughter go.”

Madonna already adopted a son, David, from Malawi.

That nation requires prospective parents to live there 18 to 24 months while child welfare authorities assess their suitability. That rule wasn’t applied when Madonna was allowed to take David to London in 2006.

The judge in a lower court said Madonna’s previous adoption was the only case in which the residency requirement had been waived, and said she was concerned that doing so again could set a precedent that could jeopardize children.

The judge said she wasn’t questioning Madonna’s intentions, and praised the work the singer’s charity has done to feed, educate and provide medical care for Malawi’s orphans.

Madonna recently told a newspaper in Malawi that she wants to educate Mercy and empower her to help people in Malawi.

“I want to provide Mercy with a home, a loving family environment and the best education and health care possible,” she said in an e-mailed response to questions from the Nation. “And it’s my hope that she, like David, will one day return to Malawi and help the people of their country.”
