Kelly Rowland wants to adopt like Madonna and Angelina Jolie

Former Destiny's Child star wants to give an older child a home

17 June 2009

SINGER Kelly Rowland wants to follow in the footsteps of Madonna and Angelina Jolie to adopt a child.

The ex Destiny’s Child star announced she’s tired of waiting for Mr Right and revealed to theBuzz: “I’ve always known I would adopt in a heartbeat but I don’t want a baby - I want to get a child that’s five, six, or even 10.”

Speaking to us at the launch of Spanish Court Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica, during Caribbean Fashion Week, Kelly, 28, explained: “I was doing ‘home for holidays’ which is a charitable holiday programme for kids in the States, and some of the statistics means that older children don’t get adopted as much.”

"I’ve always known I would adopt in a heartbeat but I don’t want a baby - I want to get a child that’s five, six, or even 10"

“I’d love to make a child feel that they’re worth it – because every child is worth it.”

Kelly, riding high in the charts with DJ David Guetta, added: “I’ve been looking into adopting older kids as there so many babies that get adopted.

“I don’t want that many children - but I want a family of five, including adopted children. That’s still a lot, but I think it would be worth it.”
