There have been rumours going around for months that Madonna might be set to adopt more children. And the picture added to her Instagram today confirms that the gossip turns out to be true! Some think that posting a picture of her new children, Esther and Stella, on her social media is exposing them too much, too young. Madonna has adopted the children from a town in Malawi – a country she has a long history with.
A quote accompanying the post thanked everyone who had helped her in the process. She said I can officially confirm I have completed the process of adopting twin sisters from Malawi and am overjoyed that they are now part of our family. I am deeply grateful to all those in Malawi who helped make this possible and I ask the media please to respect our privacy during this transitional time.’ The judge who interviewed the singer to make sure that she was adopting them for the right reasons concluded that she was looking to adopt with the best of intentions. She said ‘in determining her motives, I questioned the petitioner at length about the impact of her decision which could be construed as robbing Malawi of its most precious resource, its children.’
