The day before she’s set to jet off to Malawi to adopt a young girl, Madonna was spotted visiting the Kabbalah Centre in Midtown Manhattan on Saturday (March 28).

Offering up a smile when wished good luck with her adoption bid, the Material Girl was accompanied on the Kabbalah outing by her three children, David Banda, Lourdes ‘Lola’ Leon and Rocco Ritchie.

Meanwhile, it sounds as if Madge may be in for a fight upon her adoption attempt of 3-year-old orphan Mercy, as children’s charity Save the Children and Mercy’s grandmother, Lucy Chekechiwa, are both voicing their displeasure.

Chekechiwa told The Sun, “Why doesn’t this singer pick other children? It is stealing. I want to go to court, I won’t let her go. They told me when I visited her (Mercy) last month that they want to find a better education and home for Mercy. But I am sticking to the initial agreement that Mercy will return home to me after she reaches six years old.”
