Madonna doesn't seem like the type to take no for an answer. After her adoption of 3-year-old Chifundo "Mercy" James was denied because she hadn't been a resident of Malawi due to a stipulation that prospective parents must be a resident of Malawi for 18 to 24 months before they are able to adopt.

Madonna, not used to being told "no" threw a party to engrace herself to Malawi's government officials and when that didn't work, she's now planning to build a pad there and has instructed her architects to draw up plans under the pretense that she believes adopted son David would benefit from a connection to his birthplace.

A source told the Sun, "Madonna has a big, beautiful plot of land over there already. She’s planning to build a girl’s school in the Chinkhota village and those designs are well under way.   But she’s gone back to the designers and asked if they could accommodate a family home on the plot or on adjacent land.”
