London, June 7 (ANI): After failing to adopt Mercy from Malawi, Madonna has reportedly turned to an orphanage in Nigeria - and this time toyboy lover Jesus is by her side.
Apparently, the star has been making inquiries at an orphanage in the city of Kaduna about a female tot.
The Material Girl was devastated when her bid to adopt a little girl called Mercy was rejected by a Malawi court in April.
A source close to the 50-year-old singer revealed: “She was distraught when her adoption failed in Malawi.
“At the time she blamed the fact that her relationship with Jesus made her look like she was going through some midlife crisis.
“But now she’s looking at adoption centres in Nigeria and has got another female friend to make an initial approach to test the waters.
“She’s determined not to make the same mistakes and feels that the only way to do this is to get Jesus involved from the off.”
Madonna’s pal has made an approach to the Mercy Home Orphanage, which is home to 30 children, reports News of the World.
The source said: “Madonna is considering visiting, perhaps with Jesus, as soon as she can.”
She’s determined to extend her family and provide a little sister for daughter Lourdes, 12, and sons Rocco, eight, and David, three, who she adopted in Malawi.
The source continued: “Madonna always thought she would eventually win her battle to adopt Mercy, but that hasn’t been the case. She thinks this will bring her and Jesus together as one big happy family.”
Her friend added: “Failure is not an option. Madonna wouldn’t be able to take rejection for the second time.” (ANI)
