Madonna appears in Malawi court in adoption bid

LILONGWE (Reuters) - U.S. pop singer Madonna appeared in a Malawi court Monday seeking to adopt a second child, a girl called Mercy James, from the southern African country in a move that could meet opposition from rights groups.

Madonna appeared at the court in a black dress and sunglasses. She did not speak to reporters after the High Court case was adjourned.

"It has been adjourned to Friday, April 3 for the judge to make her ruling," court registrar Thomson Ligowe told Reuters.

One of Madonna's lawyers said outside the court that she was asking the court to grant her an interim adoption of about 18 months of Mercy, who is four years old.
