A court in Malawi has just given Madonna permission to adopt four-year-old twin sisters.

The US singer had caused controversy in the impoverished African country when she was accused of skirting the laws that bans non-residents from adopting Malawian children.

Recently Madonna had denied reports she wanted to adopt again saying her trip was for charity work.

According to DM, the four-year-old twins, Esther and Stella Mwale, will now be allowed travel to the US if she wishes but the Like a Virgin singer will be under court observation for at least a year before the adoption process is finalised.

She must also take part in a home study for Malawian authorities.

The 58-year-old is already mother to 19-year-old Lourdes, her daughter with ex Carlos Leon, a son Rocco, 15, from her marriage to Guy Ritchie, and David Banda, 11, and Mercy, also 11, whom she adopted from Malawi.
