Madonna wins adoption appeal in Malawi

Malawi’s high court ruled in favor of pop superstar Madonna on Friday, saying she will be able to adopt a young girl from the country, a spokesman for the attorney general’s office said. Spokeswoman Zione Ntaba said she could not immediately offer further details. Madonna, 50, took her effort to adopt the three-year-old to Malawi’s highest court last month after a lower court ruled the adoption did not meet local law.
