Madonna's adoption appeal hearing on May 4

Madonna will try to see some light on her attempt to adopt 3-year-old girl Chifundo "Mercy" James after a judge rejected Madonna's bid on April 3.

Chief Justice Lovemore Munlo of Malawi will lead a three-judge panel in an appeal case on May 4.

Supreme Court of Appeal spokesman Joseph Chigona said in a statement, "Since this involves an infant it will be heard in chambers. This is an important case; that's why the chief justice himself has taken special interest."

The judge will now balance between the required 18 to 24 months residency of an adoptive parents or the best education and healthcare that Madonna can offer to "Mercy" James.
