Madonna is in Malawi on several missions.  She is reportedly scouting out land for her new girls’ school and she is also embarking on another adoption.  She is attempting to adopt a 3 year old girl Mercy James – photo below.

Accompanying Madge on this trip is her daughter Lourdes Leon, who will turn 13 in October.  The two were photographed walking hand in hand through a local village – see video.

She suffered a blow when a Malawian judge rejected her adoption bid.  DETAILS HERE.

Lourdes’ father is Madonna’s former personal trainer, Carlos Leon.  Check out our Lourdes Leon photo gallery.
