Katherine’s Adopting A Girl!
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009
Is this why she kicked that nasty smoking habit? “Grey’s Anatomy” star Katherine Heigl is adopting a baby!
RadarOnline reports the actress and her husband Josh Kelley are in the process of adopting a 10-month-old girl from Korea. Her name is now Nayleigh, but the couple plans to call her Leigh. A source told Radar, “She is thrilled. She and Josh are so happy.”
Maybe this will make the honchos at “Grey’s” cut down on those 17-hour days Kathrine’s been complaining about.

Mercy’s Dad Finally Shows Up
Monday, May 4th, 2009
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.

This weekend, Madonna told The Nation, “I want to provide Mercy with a home, a loving family environment and the best education and health care possible. And it’s my hope that she, like David, will one day return to Malawi and help the people of their country.”
Madonna’s attorney has filed an appeal but not date has been set for another hearing.

Madonna Plans Home In Malawi
Friday, April 10th, 2009
She may have left Malawi empty-handed, but Madonna’s not giving up on adopting little Mercy James.
The UK Sun reports the superstar has plans to build a home in the African country in hopes of satisfying the 18-month residency requirement for adoption. A source told the Sun, “Madonna has a big, beautiful plot of land over there already. She’s planning to build a girl’s school in the Chinkhota village and those designs are well under way. But she’s gone back to the designers and asked if they could accommodate a family home on the plot or on adjacent land.”
Will this convince Malawi’s officials to allow her to adopt Mercy? When will she have time to spend 18 months in Africa?
