Blantyre (Malawi) (AFP) - US superstar Madonna adopted twin girls in Malawi on Tuesday, a court official told AFP, raising to four the total number of children she has adopted from the southern African nation. Just two weeks ago, she denied being involved in a fresh adoption application in Malawi, where she has been caught up in controversy. "I can confirm that Madonna has been granted an adoption order for two children," said judicial spokesman Mlenga Mvula, describing them as four-year-old twins called Esther and Stella. Madonna, who set up a charity called Raising Malawi in 2006, previously adopted two other children there, David Banda in 2006 and Mercy James in 2009. The singer last visited the hospital in July, taking her two adopted children with her.
