Madonna really needs this new baby to get over her failed marriage. She needs this so bad she has orchestrated a charm campaign to try to win over the Malawian government.

Madge had this picture of herself and sweet little Mercy airbrushed and touched up to a flawless finish then arranged for her record label to release the image to every media outlet in the world. She then sent the following emotional, but probably written by someone with an actual heart, to  Malawi’s Nations newspaper.

“‘I want to provide Mercy with a home, a loving family environment and the best education and healthcare possible. And it’s my hope that she, like David, will one day return to Malawi and help the people of their country. ‘Though I have been advised that I cannot publicly discuss the pending appeal regarding my desire to adopt Mercy, I do want to say how much I appreciate the level of support that I have received from the people of Malawi and my friends around the world.’
