The Life of Lourdes Leon

All eyes were on Madonna as she went through the process of trying to adopt a 3-year-old baby, Mercy James, from Malawi—and was denied. But before there was David Banda (the Malawian child she adopted amid controversy in 2006) and Rocco, her son with now ex-husband Guy Ritchie, Madonna was once the proud mother to one single child: daughter Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon. Almost a teenager, we take a look back at the life of Madonna's first-born.
