Popstar Madonna denied rumours for months that she was to adopt, but many entertainment sources report the High Court from Malawi have granted the 58-yr-old singer the ability to adopt 4-year-old twin girls from the country on Tuesday.
Madonna was in the court with her lawyer alongside the twins’ father and uncle,who both witnessed the adoption.
Malawi’s judiciary spokesperson Mlenga Mvula told People magazine:
“The girls’ mother died in August 2012, a week after giving birth to them.”
“After their mother died, the children were looked after by their grandmother, who could not fully provide for them, so they were taken into an orphanage,” Mvula said.
A government official will now travel with Madonna, the twins (named Stella and Esther) to America to ensure Madonna can and will provide a suitable home for them.
