Mercy James, Madonna's three-year-old adopted daughter, has left her birthplace of Malawi, says the Associated Press. The little girl was flown out of the African nation late Friday on a private jet bound for London, an airport employee and a source close to the adoption proceedings tell the AP.

The Supreme Court of Malawi recently approved the adoption after a lower court ruled that Madonna could not adopt the little girl. Last year Madonna adopted a son from Malawi, David.
