Madonna adopts twin girls

Even though the singer previously denied reports that she was adopting more children from Malawi.

Madonna has welcomed the latest additions to her family via a photo on Instagram.

The singer has adopted 4 year-old twin girls, Stella and Esther, from the Malawi Home of Hope orphanage in the town of Mchinji. The singer already has two other adopted children from Malawi, adopting son David Banda in 2006 and daughter Mercy James in 2009.

Last year Madonna dismissed reports that she was seeking to adopt more children as “rumors”, saying: “I am in Malawi to check on the children’s hospital in Blantyre and my other work with [charity] Raising Malawi, and then heading home. The rumours of an adoption process are untrue.”

Now the 58-year old pop star has confirmed the news, posting a photo of herself with the twins to Instagram, along with a message stating that she is “overjoyed that they are now part of our family”. She adds: “I am deeply grateful to all those in Malawi who helped make this possible”. See that post below.
