Mercy Goes Into Hiding! Her Grandfather Speaks Out

Filed under: Madonna > Baby Blabber > Legal Matters

wenn5202427david__opt11.jpg

As we mentioned previously, Madonna's attempt to adopt little Mercy from Malawi was denied.

Mercy's biological father is now trying to get back into the picture. And it seems Madge isn't have any of it!

In fact, Mercy has now gone into hiding, apparently at the request of Madge, now that the biological father, 24-year-old James Kambewa, wants to get reunited.

Staff at the Kondanani children’s home are cooperating with Madge and Mercy is believed to have gone into hiding at a secret location with someone from the orphanage.

Mercy's maternal grandfather, Saxon Maunde, a poor farmer in Kondanani, also spoke about the biological dad Kambewa, who left Mercy's mom after she became pregnant at 15-years-old and he fled the town to avoid responsibility.

Grandpa says:

"We cannot believe this boy is coming forward like this. We are very suspicious of his reasons, especially as he has caused our family so much heartbreak in the past. When my precious daughter became pregnant we were so disappointed with her. She had been doing well at school and we had to take her away from her studies. There was disgrace for us in the pregnancy, but this boy could have made things acceptable by marrying her and taking responsibility. Instead, he denied he was the father. He was a coward who ran away. When our daughter died after Mercy was born, this wretched boy sent no message of condolence. He is the last person we want to see now."

And Madge's attorneys in Malawi are fighting back, adding "We are more determined than ever to persuade the courts to let Madonna adopt Mercy. We have heard that a young man is claiming he is her father and wants the child, but he has not contacted us and we will not entertain his claims. As the father of an illegitimate child he has few rights and in our culture he is considered an outcast in society."

So sad.

Madge's case is scheduled to be heard again on at the end of this month.

    Get in my belly!

    Madonna is scaring the crap out of these people!!!



  3. 3

    sounds to me like he is prolly going to try to make a profit off of this…what a douche…



  4. 4

    Sad. He's probably trying to capitalize on the situation.



  5. 5

    I knew this father would try to come back into the picture once he realized there might be money involved. Madonna needs to do what Angelina did, which is to only adopt kids where the kids are true orphans. I feel sad for David because, yes, he's going to have a great life but, when he grows up, you know his Malawi father and siblings will constantly be asking him for money.



  6. 6

    So sad. They should let Madonna adopt the girl. At least she will be in a stable home with love and security. The wanna be father, just want the girl to be his meal ticket by making her a sex slave. Such a disgrace.

    She needs to focus more on her floundering tour and less on this little turd.



  16. 16

    Ugh…you were denied. Let it go Madge.



  17. 17

    Perez..it is way too early for your head to be up Madonna's p u s s y…this shit is so much drama…and so what Madonna wants..fucking drama.



  18. 18

    Madonna and Angelina buying a bunch of dark brown people - last time stuff like that happened didn't we call it slavery, and didn't we outlaw it? Good for Malawi - keep Africans Africans!



  19. 19

    Baby thief!



  20. 20

    wtf!…Hey Madge….get help for your issues…there are plenty of childred with no family awaiting adoption…who knew i WAS a huge fan of such a nutbag!



  21. 21

    i hope madonna gets it



  22. 22

    Re: rysia – Good call. NO.



  23. 23

    Um, why is she adopting children that have a family already? Why not give money to the grandparents so they could raise the child? Why not give money to the orphanage so they can better care for all the children. Taking a child away who has a legitimate family that apparently cares for them emotionally but can't care for them financially is so very wrong. BOOOO! Madonna. BOOOO!



  24. 24

    Poor Mercy. IT is already ruining Mercy's life and IT doesn't legally have her yet. Back off old lady, leave the girl alone!!

    Re: _Alice_ – You have pretty hair.



  30. 30

    Madge is a hero!! She is inspiring families to to take their abandoned children out of the orphanages and live with them again in the hopes to sqeeze Madonna for a little cash. It warms the heart…



  31. 31

    Babies for sale! Cute, adorable, lil brown babies for sale!



  32. 32

    Re: Melissa is always RIGHT – Ha! Good one! Damn Straight, Sister!



  33. 33

    Mercy is just another object Madonna wants. Nothing more.

    Why don't the grandparents adopt their grandchild? Sounds pretty damn easy to me.

    Oh that's right, they probably get some money out of the deal.



  34. 34

    Yup…all he'll want is money! There is no way he'll want Mercy. He just sees an "opportunity" to paid. What a freakin' loser.



  35. 35

    "Helo I father of baby in qestion. Mercy she good girl, she mine and she going to live in my kraal hut with me. She learn to work the field and cook samp and beens for us to eat. otherwise she work at side of road to make money with her ladyhole. she become vilage whore so we men can get our snakes wet. mercy is my child and she will be my wife too one day soon. thank for listenning to my story" - Khulani Chumba

    "As the father of an illegitimate child he has few rights and in our culture he is considered an outcast in society."

    SEE NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKIN BOUT!! This is MADGES element right here!! LOL!!



  37. 37

    Perez, your grammar, spelling and sentence formation all suck! You have spell check on your computer try USING it. How does someone so intelligent, witty and quick miss the basics?????



  38. 38

    Wow! This child must be going through some very serious emotional ups and downs. At three years old and without any formal education, I wonder what SHE makes of all of this.



  39. 39

    It's kind of shocking Madonna didn't learn her lesson from the first adoption and do her prior research to make sure the child she wanted wasn't, um, even a real orphan (i.e. already had living parents!).

    PR Nightmare: Round Two!

    So basically all Madonna has done for this child is completely uproot her and ruin her life.

    What a humanitarian?! She should be locked up for bothering this whole world with this BS.

    Where are the best interests of the child?? Who is looking out for this poor child who has been nothing but a toy to EVERYONE involved.



  41. 41

    Best of fortune and luck, Madge Madonna and family (Mercy included)! And continued scorn to the "father" - sperm donor!



  42. 42

    wow….drama drama drama



  43. 43

    Who the f-ck does this bitch think she is, she has no right to keep this child hidden from her bioligical father (if it turns out he is), or her extended family! this narcicist control freak is out of order, someone needs to muzzle her like now! I hope the Malawi authorities and courts respect the law and denied this bitch her latest toy! she's a horrid human being!



  44. 44

    There are plenty of children in America that need parents!



  45. 45

    dead beat dad's cut across all cultures and countries!



  46. 46

    He sounds like he's trying to make a profit out of all of this since the daughter he denied he had, suddenly is looking to being adopted by Madonna.

    Even though I thought Madonna's way of going about the adoption was annoying, now that we hear more of Mercy's family and why she's in the orphanage, it's pretty sad.



  47. 47

    how terrible..that madonna has more rights and more say over this child than her own father..
    children should be kept in their own communities with or near family! why does madonna think she would give this girl more love?!!



  48. 48

    Re: former M fan – completely agree!!



  49. 49

    Re: brainchild – hero? thats a pretty huge stretch. when you use that word to describe this women it drags that word through a pile of dogshit

    Re: Lisa W a Lil L – ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID? THE GUY ABANDONED THE MOTHER WHEN SHE GOT PREGNANT AND ONLY GOT INTERESTED IN THE BABY AFTER HE REALISED MADONNA WAS IN THE PICTURE, HE MIGHT BE HER BIOLOGICAL FATHER BUT HE IS NOT THE FGATHER, HE IS A SCUMBAG.



  51. 51

    The little girl should not be granted to the bio father or Hagdonna! It will not be pleasant for the little girl in BOTH cases, Mario. If true that the father walked out, he is skum but much of this has been going on for hundreds of years…nothing new, just a sad story again! Hagdonna is not 'fit' or 'qualified' to take on this child because she is a whore and that type of lifestyle takes a tremendous amount of her time. Sadly, money speaks volumes but has nothing to do with being a qualified parent to a child. This will not be a win-win situation if either one has access to the little girl.



  52. 52

    another dad comes forward and wants his child, unbeleivable!! Heres a thought for Madonna why dont you try to adopt every orphan in Malawi and then the dead beat dads will all come forward and realize they want their fuckin children back!!! They dont give a shit until its publicised then they declare "I'm the parent!" Give me a break!!



  53. 53

    Something isn't right. She didn't adopt the child, what right does she have to send her into seclusion and why would the school listen to her??? Is this something you made up Perez?



  54. 54

    I HOPE THEY GIVE MADONNA THE RIGHT TO ADOPT HER, SHE DESERVES A BETTER LIFE.

    GOOD LUCK MADDY!



  55. 55

    wow…the drama……….this is really an entertaining story. two thumbs up for madonna. she's plays this drama so interesting. unlike brangilina, they are cold kid snatchers…… seems madonna is writing and directing this life saga……MADONNA AND MERCY.



  56. 56

    Re: cockface – IN OUR SOCIETY SHE'S DEFINETELY NOT, BUT ON ANOTHER HAND…DON'T YOU THINK MALAWIANS THINK SHE IS THEIR HEROINE?



  57. 57

    This whole thing has made me associate Madonna with things like desperate, disgusting, hypocritical etc so fuck her, BUT isnt it funny how the peace loving, gentle, fathers of Malwasiiaiaaww always crawl out of the woodwork to reclaim the babies they left to starve to death when $$$$ are involved. So sorry Madge, your actions to aid this country and highlight their light may have been for the best intentions, but they are not a ppl worthy of my donated dollars, they need a good PR and some lawyers. I'll donate at home in future!



  58. 58

    OMG

    Let Madonna give some girl the life we all dream of!!!

    Come on Perez DO SOMETHING
