MADONNA has reportedly flown to Malawi to collect her newly-adopted daughter Mercy James.
The singer was snapped leaving London's Heathrow Airport yesterday with eldest daughter Lourdes, and son David, who she adopted from Malawi last year.
According to The Sun newspaper, Madonna was planning to have four-year-old Mercy flown to her home in Los Angeles, but decided to collect the little girl herself.
Son David had allegedly prompted her decision when he demanded: "I want to play with my sister now!"
Mercy was reportedly secretly transported from Madonna's home in the Malawian capital Lilongwe last night but her current whereabouts are unclear.
It was reported recently that Madonna has phoned her newly-adopted daughter every evening since the adoption was given the go-ahead.
