Pop star Madonna is expected to travel to Malawi in the coming days to try to adopt a second child from the impoverished African country.
An official at the Malawi welfare department said today that the 50-year-old has already filed adoption papers.
Another source in the Africa close to the case says that Madonna will be in Malawi this weekend and a court could hear her adoption case as soon as Monday.

Mercy, who Madonna may be adopting
'We expect her over the weekend or earlier than that... but without a doubt she is coming before the end of this month,' a separate official at the Ministry of Gender and Child Development said.
Madonna's adoption of David Banda in 2008 stirred controversy over foreign adoptions and raised questions about whether rules had been broken for the singer.
Madonna, who began proceedings in 2006, took David when he was 13-months-old after his father had placed him in an orphanage following the death of his wife.
David is now three and his birth father, Yohane Banda, said he is eager to see his son again.
'Someone from Raising Malawi visited me last week and told me that my son may be visiting me sometime next week,' he said.
