Elton John Wants to Adopt
Superstar performer Elton John and partner David Furnish could be the next celebs to adopt.
On Saturday, John told reporters in Ukraine he has long wanted to adopt a child but that he was reluctant until he visited an orphanage and met baby Lev.
"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," John tells the AP.
"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," he said.
John and Furnish toured the orphanage where many of the children's parents have died from AIDS. The Grammy winner also performed for the children.
