The 51-year-old mother will pack up her whole family including her two other children 14-year-old Lourdes and 10-year-old Rocco.

The ‘Material Girl’ singer believes it’s important for her adopted toddlers to understand their past, an unnamed source told the UK’s The Sun.

“She promised to take them back to their homeland — she sees it as vital they understand their roots,” the source said.

“Mercy’s meeting with her family will be particularly emotional as it’s the first time she’s seen them since last summer.”

During the process of adopting Mercy, Madonna was highly criticised in the media and accused of taking the child away from her biological mother.

The visit will also include the beginning of building Madonna’s Malawi Girls Academy which is going to be built just outside Malawi’s capital, Lilongwe.
