It's an extra special, celebratory weekend for Madonna and her family.
On Thursday, September 24, the "Hung Up" singer celebrated her son David Banda's milestone 21st birthday, sharing a series of photos of the birthday boy throughout the years.
The Desperately Seeking Susan adopted the budding model in 2005 from an orphanage in the capital of Malawi, Lilongwe, shortly after founding her charitable organization Raising Malawi. She is also a mom to daughter Lourdes Leon, 29, Rocco Ritche, 26, Mercy, 20, and twins Stella and Estere, 14.

"Senzacacona!!! Happiest of Birthdays. I knew you were destined for greatness. From the moment I met you. David Banda. King David. The world is waiting for you to. Take that crown and place it firmly on your head! Your Libra indecisiveness sometimes gets in the way. But I am your Leo mother, always here to guide you. And love you!"
