Madonna's appeal against the decision to not let her adopt Mercy James from Malawi will be heard in court on 4 May, it has just been reported. The star's legal representatives have confirmed that the appeal to overturn the original judge's decision will come up before three Supreme Court of Appeal judges, who will decide whether or not Madonna will be allowed to take Mercy back to the US. Madge's Malawian lawyer seems hopeful the appeal will be a success, as the first rejection was based "on an archaic law of over 50 years ago". Madonna herself has yet to comment, as she is still recovering from her tumble from the saddle this weekend.
