Madonna has her heart set on adopting a little Maliwan girl named Grace, according to snooping sources.

MADONNA “set her heart” on adopting Malawian tot Grace after watching video footage of her playing in an orphanage.

She fell for the smiling three-year-old as she viewed a documentary about a $2million day care home she is funding for orphans in the impoverished African country

A source close to the star says: “Madonna saw a film of children at a place called The Consol Home.

“She spotted a beautiful girl called Grace who lit the room with her smile, and fell head over heels for her.

“Madonna kept saying, ‘That girl has so much love in her. I want to help her achieve her potential’.

A source at Malawi’s Ministry for Gender and Child Welfare claims the forty-eight year old intends to adopt again.

“Madonna wants a girl this time. She loves Malawi a great deal and wants to help another child.”

Malawi officials are determined to avoid a repeat of the controversy caused by Madonna’s adoption of David, after the star was accused of using her celebrity status to bypass laws and fast-track the process.

Authorities have asked that she meets with at least 10 other girls before making her final decision. Meetings with two girls called Jessica and Mercy have already been set up.
