LONDON: Queen of Pop Madonna has returned to the US without meeting parents of her adopted kids in Malawi, it has emerged. The 51-year-old singer left the place with David Banda and Mercy Chifundo James, both four-year-old, after first dropping in at the construction site of her £ 9 million Raising Malawi Academy for girls. She also visited David’s residence for a year, the Home of Hope Child Care Centre. However, the Material Girl hitmaker skipped meeting the parents of the two children. James Kambewa, who insists he is the father of Mercy even though he has never met her, said, “I was ready to be reunited with my daughter. I am devastated they denied me a chance of seeing her.” Seemingly, Madonna has promised to bring back the kids to visit their native land in future. “One day she will bring her home because that’s what she told me when I signed adoption papers at the High Court,” the Daily Star quoted Mercy’s uncle Peter Baneti as saying. Also, David’s father Yohane said, “I heard David was at the orphanage. I’m not worried because Madonna promised she’ll bring him back.” A Raising Malawi official added, “She will take them there at some point in the future.”
