And now two of the top judges have reportedly submitted their recommendation for the adoption while the third is said be "in complete unison with them", reported the newspaper.

The ruling is set to be announced next Sunday at Malawi's Supreme Court of Appeal.

"The paperwork is being typed up now. All recommendations are in favour of the adoption taking place. Mercy should start packing her bags. She's off to America," a source told the publication.

"She made a promise that she wouldn't give up on Mercy and, believe me, she could move mountains when she's this determined," a friend of the star said adding that the singer was "ecstatic" with the decision.
