Madonna has started making plans to adopt a Nigerian child, according to a report today.
The 50-year-old singer has allegedly approached Kaduna's Mercy Home Orphanage, which contains 30 youngsters, including a female tot she hopes to take home.
Madonna tried to adopt four-year-old Chifundo 'Mercy' James from Malawi in April, but her bid was blocked by the country's High Court.
According to the News Of The World, the star has decided to involve 22-year-old boyfriend Jesus Luz in her latest plans to prove that her personal life is stable.
A source told the newspaper: "She was distraught when her adoption failed in Malawi. At the time she blamed the fact that her relationship with Jesus made her look like she was going through some midlife crisis.
"But now she's looking at adoption centres in Nigeria and has got another female friend to make an initial approach to test the waters. She's determined not to make the same mistakes and feels that the only way to do this is to get Jesus involved from the off."
The star adopted David Banda from Malawi in 2006, but faced strong criticism amid allegations that the process had been 'fast-tracked'.
