Pop icon Madonna is still trying to adopt more children from Africa. Recently she tried to adopt a four year old girl named Mercy James but local South African courts have denied the adoption. No reason was given to the media and Madonna is staying quiet on the matter as she goes through the appeal process. Madonna says she wants to help as many African children as she can so that they may one day return to Africa and be of help to the poor countries. She wants to give her adopted children the best health care possible and the best education she can so that they may grow up to be leaders
