Madonna said she is “ecstatic” an appeals court in Malawi has approved her request to adopt a little girl from an orphanage in the country.

“I am extremely grateful for the Supreme Court’s ruling on my application to adopt Mercy James,” Madonna reported via her spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg.

“I am ecstatic. My family and I look forward to sharing our lives with her,” added the 50-year-old recording artist and mother of three other children.
