Madonna nanny 'flies into Malawi'

Madonna has reportedly flown a nurse and nanny out to Malawi to care for her newly-adopted four-year-old daughter Mercy James.

The singer's aides will care for the child in her luxury apartment in the African country's capital Lilongwe while adoption papers and a visa are finalised, reports say.

Mercy James will then be flown by private jet to the US, where Madonna will introduce her to her new siblings Lourdes, 12, Rocco, eight, and David Banda, three.

According to The Sun, Mercy's biological father James Kambewa, 24, has vowed to seek visitation rights to his daughter.

"I will fight until my last drop of blood to have the right to my daughter," he is quoted as saying.

Madonna won a court appeal last week to adopt the Malawian after the application was originally rejected in April.
