Susan Boyle has revealed that she hopes to become a mother in the near future.
The 53-year-old Scottish singer of
Britain’s Got Talent fame, whose sixth album
Hope is to be released next month, has stated her desire to adopt a child.
According to
The Sunday Mail newspaper, Boyle said: “I have so much love to give. I want to adopt a child who doesn’t have much, who I can really give something to. It’s a way of giving back for me.
“I have been considering it for a year. I love children, I always have, but I couldn’t have them. I want to give a youngster what I didn’t have. I know it’s a long process but I’ve never been more keen to do it. The rules can be quite strict but let’s hope."
"We’ll have to see what social services say, but it would make me so happy.
“I know I’m single and 50-odd,” she continued. “People don’t think I’m serious when I say it, they have a giggle at me. Let’s see.”
The singer added that she has great respect for fostering, but would find it hard herself.
“You have to give them back, and that’s what I would hate. With adoption, you don’t have that wrench.
