Madonna has reportedly sent a team to Malawi to find her a new adopted daughter.
The 'Material Girl' singer - who adopted two-year-old son David Banda from the African country last year - is said to be desperate to find a little girl to bring home.
Madonna - who also has an 11-year-old daughter Lourdes and a seven-year-old son Rocco - reportedly told staff: "Don't rest until you've found me my princess!"
She has sent her aides to search the Malawi region of Salima for an orphan and has told them to draw up a shortlist of nine children whose families won't block the adoption.
The pop superstar had planned to adopt a 20-month-old girl, Mercy, but was said to be devastated when her family blocked her application.
Mercy's uncle, Peter Banet, said: "I'd rather be struggling with Mercy than for her to live with a big white star far away."
A source added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Madonna is heartbroken about Mercy. She told everyone she was her new daughter and carried her picture around. All she dreams about is a sister for David."
In August, it was reported Madonna was set to adopt Mercy and take her home to the UK next April.
A source said at the time: "Madonna is ecstatic she has been told she can take Mercy home. She didn't want another complicated adoption. Mercy is a beautiful baby girl. She is so joyful and happy and giggles every time she is picked up. Madonna just loves the way she claps her hands and laughs constantly. She has huge eyes. Madonna calls her a smiling angel."
Meanwhile Madonna's new album will be called 'Licorice'.
The 'Hung Up' singer has revealed the candy-inspired title and confirmed the LP, her final release with record company Warner Music Group Corporation, will be released next April.
Kanye West will guest on 'The Beat Goes On', while previously unreleased song 'The Devil Wouldn't Recognize You' will also feature.
Two tracks from the album, 'Candy Shop' and 'The Beat Goes On', were played on Larry Flick's Sirius Satellite Radio Show yesterday although the Kanye version is yet to be recorded.
Earlier this year, Madonna signed a $120 million recording and tour deal.
The 'Material Girl' singer received the huge offer from live entertainment promoter Live Nation Incorporated.
Madonna's outstanding contract with Warner requires her to produce one more studio album and a greatest hits record.
Live Nation's 10-year deal promises Madonna, 49, a signing bonus of around $18 million and a $17 million advance in cash and stocks for each of the three albums stipulated in the contract.
Live Nation will own the rights to sell Madonna's merchandise and license her name, and any profits split between the singer and the company.
They are also set to pay $50 million in cash and stock to promote Madonna's tours.
