Madonna Granted Permission to Adopt Twin Girls from Malawi (Report)

Despite reports that Madonna was actually not pursuing another adoption in Malawi, she appeared in court today and was reportedly given permission to adopt twin girls from the African country.

“Today the High Court made a ruling that she should go ahead and adopt the two children,” Mlenga Mvula, a spokesman for Malawi’s judiciary, told Reuters. “Within a year she should provide us with a home survey report which the court has ordered her to provide.”

Mlenga added that Madonna was smiling when the ruling came through.

Madonna has four children: Lourdes Leon, 20, Rocco Ritchie, 16, David Banda, 11, and Mercy James, 11. David and Mercy are from Malawi.
