Madonna's happy brood of four will soon be a brood of six. The pop star recently announced that she's adopted twin sisters from Malawi named Estere and Stelle.

Madonna posted a photograph of her and her daughters to Instagram with this message:

"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."
