“Sometimes I would just close my eyes and just think, ‘Why isn’t my kitchen filled with dancing children?’ There’s so many children that need a home,” she recalled at the time. “I thought, ‘What am I waiting for? Just do it.’ "
The musician also opened up about how her older children adapted to their expanded family at the time. “There might have been [a feeling of], ‘Oh, we have to share you with more people’ — not jealousy, but an adjustment,” said Madonna at the time. “Eventually everyone was supportive. Lola said, ‘Mom, if that’s what you want and it’s going to make you happy, let’s go.’ "
