Have Mercy -- Madonna Adoption Approved

MadonnaMadonna lost her husband, but just gained a kid -- as a Malawian court just ruled she can adopt a second child from the African country.

The court originally said Madge could not adopt 3-year-old Chifundo "Mercy" James because she hadn't spent enough time in Malawi -- but have since decided that decision was based on outdated laws.

Madonna already has a son from the country, David, who she adopted in 2006.

The Material Girl's rep released this statement on her behalf: "I am ecstatic ... My family and I look forward to sharing our lives with her."

61. I feel sorry for those kids. Raised by Nanies, no father figure, no stability, no sense of worth, not having the chance to be a kid and being robbed of the joy of knowing who you are. That kid will grow up all screwed up. On drugs at 15, in clubs at 16, pregnant at 17.......Here mother will be in her 70s by the time she reaches 22. By that time Madonna will be bored with the kids she adopted and will have moved on.....
