Madonna has denied reports that she appeared in court in Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi, to apply to adopt two more children.
Government spokesman Mlenga Mvula reportedly revealed that the court was deciding whether to grant the adoption order.
According to local reports, Madonna was due to wait a week before she finding out if she would be gratned permission to become a mother to the two children. But in a statement to HELLO! the Material Girl insisted the reports were untrue.
"I am in Malawi to check on the children's hospital in Blantyre and my other work with Raising Malawi, and then heading home," the singer said. "The rumors of an adoption process are untrue.”
