First Katherine Heigl, now him!
There's a report on the Daily Mail about Sir Elton John (62 years young) wanting to adopt a 14-month old boy named Lev from a Ukrainian orphanage. John was visiting the country with his AIDS foundation - performing for kids and raising awareness of the disease.
At a following press conference, he and partner David Furnish were asked about adopting and this is what Elton had to say:
- "David and I have always talked about adoption, David always wanted to adopt a child and I always said 'no' because I am 62 and I think because of the traveling I do and the life I have, maybe it wouldn't be fair for the child. But having seen Lev today, I would love to adopt him. I don't know how we do that but he has stolen my heart. And he has stolen David's heart and it would be wonderful if we can have a home. I've changed my mind today."
So sweet! It might be an arduous process - Madonna, anyone? - but probably worth it!
