Madonna gets Mercy

On one hand I am happy for Madonna that after 3 years has won her battle to adopt little Mercy James, the Malawian girl that she fell in love with on her first visit to Malawi in 2006 with her then husband, Guy Ritchie. As an adoptive mom, I can hardly imagine having to walk away from a child in an orphanage that I believed was "the one." But on the other hand, it does appear that perhaps the courts bent the rules a little bit for a celebrity.
