LILONGWE, Malawi — A Malawian judge held a closed-door hearing Monday on Madonna's application to adopt a second child from this southern African nation but delayed ruling on the matter until Friday, a court official said.
The 50-year-old pop star spent about an hour in court Monday in the Malawi capital of Lilongwe. Court official Thomson Ligowe confirmed that Madonna's adoption application was adjourned until Friday but said he could not reveal any more details.
Monday's court docket listed only the child's name — Chifundo James, which means “Mercy” in the local language. It was not immediately known whether any of the girl's relatives were present at the courthouse Monday.
