The singer's children, now age 19, had aged out of the foster care system when she adopted them.
Every year, more than 23,000 children age out of foster care, which means the government is no longer responsible for their wellbeing.

The notoriously private Sia has adopted two teenage boys last year who were aging out of the foster care system, she said in an interview with SiriusXM's "The Morning Mash Up" on Monday.
In the interview, the singer also discussed how her children are coping with quarantine.
"They are both finding it pretty difficult, one more so than the other," Sia said in the interview. "But they're both doing things that are really good for them right now, that are really helpful. They're really doing a lot of educational stuff that's good for them."
Young children are more likely to get adopted into a permanent home than older children, and every year, more than 23,000 kids in the US age out of the foster care system, according to the National Foster Youth Institute.
Children can be placed in foster care for numerous reasons, which can include being removed from an abusive home. But once a child turns 18, the government is no longer responsible for the wellbeing of children in foster care.
Sia, who covers nearly her entire face with elaborate wigs while in public, didn't say if she'll going to extreme lengths to protect her children from the public eye.
