Madonna's bid for a second child from Malawi has ended in denial. Judge Esme Chombo declined the pop star's application due to a stipulation that prospective parents must be a resident of Malawi for 18 to 24 months before they are able to adopt. However, Madonna was successfully able to adopt her first child from Malawi, David Banda, without adhering to this rule as it was waived by the judge presiding over the case. It was not clear why Chombo refused to waive it though a different judge had handled Madonna's previous adoption case. However, Madonna had faced criticism for using her money and power to fast-track adoption procedures.

Madonna was planning to adopt a three-year-old girl named Chifundo James whose 14-year-old mother died soon after childbirth. It is unknown where the father is, but the woman's brother had given consent for the adoption.

"I am able and willing to securely provide for Chifundo James and make her a permanent and established member of my family," Madonna said in the document. "To deny Chifundo James the opportunity to be adopted by me could expose her to hardship and emotional trauma which is otherwise avoidable."

Madonna did not appear in court for the ruling and it's not know whether she'll appeal the decision but   Bodog Beat oddsmakers are guessing she will - because nobody fucks with Madonna.
