Madonna has applied to adopt two four-year-old twins called Stella and Esther from Malawi.
Malawi News said the 58-year-old singer was at a High Court in Lilongwe, the capital city of the country, on Wednesday after filing an application to adopt.
Reports said the twin girls had been staying in an orphanage for two years.
Madonna, who had in the past, adopted two children, Mercy and David, has however denied claims that she is interested in adoption, telling US magazine People that she is in Malawi to check on a children’s hospital.
“The rumours of an adoption process are untrue,” she said. “I am in Malawi to check on the children’s hospital in Blantyre and my other work with Raising Malawi and then heading home.”
But on Thursday, government officials insisted that Madonna had filed documentation and said a judge would make a decision on her request soon.
