London, June 28 Just a little more than two weeks after being granted the right to take home Mercy James, Madonna has come under fire for ignoring 12 needy orphans so that she could adopt two Malawian kids she really wanted.

Apparently, the 50-year-old - now mum to David Banda, three, and four-year-old Mercy James - was asked to chose from a dozen children who had been chosen for her by the Malawian government.

However, a Channel 4 documentary has claimed that she chose David and Mercy instead despite them having families, reports The News of the World.

Meanwhile, according to reports, the pop diva has got Mercy converted to Kabbalah.

She was able to adopt Mercy earlier this month after successfully appealing a court ruling which refused her bid. (ANI)
