Mercy’s Dad Finally Shows Up

The bio-dad of the little girl Madonna is struggling to adopt had finally surfaced—just in time to get his 15 minutes in the spotlight.

According to AFP, James Kambewo, a Malawian man claiming to be the father of three-year-old Chifundo “Mercy” James, has spoken out on the eve of a court hearing on Madonna’s appeal to legally adopt the child.

In a phone interview, Kambewo stated, “I want Mercy back. I am the biological father of Mercy,” adding that he wanted to “take care of her myself. I don’t have the money to pay a lawyer, but I am looking for one so that I can issue an injunction stopping Madonna from continuing to seek to adopt my daughter.”

So he doesn’t have the money to pay for a lawyer, but he wants to “take care” of a small child? A child he admits he’s never even met? The more I hear about little Mercy’s “family,” the more I think she’d be better off with Madonna.
