Madonna adopted David in 2006 when he was 13 months old and he was born in the village of Lipunga, which is located in Western Malawi, Africa.
She previously spoke to Vogue about their similarities, saying: ‘What he has more than anything is focus and determination. I’m pretty sure he got it from me…
‘He’s the one I have the most in common with. I feel like he gets me; he has more of my DNA than any of my children so far. Let’s see what happens — it’s still early days for everyone’.
Mercy meanwhile, also from Malawi, was adopted in 2007 when she was four and suffering from Malaria.
In a stunning display of love, Mercy previously said to her mom: ‘Even though sometimes I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I can’t deal right now.’ But I really love you and I want to thank you for everything, Mom.
‘I know you’re going through a hard time right now with your hip and all the injuries, but I want to say that you’re a really strong person. You deserve everything you want.’
Her youngest – Stella and Estere – were adopted from Malawi at the start of 2017. They lived in the Home of Hope orphanage in Mchinji for two years before their adoption.
When asked what drew her to her kids, Madonna said: ‘It’s inexplicable. Why do you fall in love with the people you fall in love with?’ You look into the eyes of somebody, you feel their soul, you feel touched by them — that’s it.’
