Ricky Martin wants to adopt
Friday, 10 August 2007
Latin pop star Ricky Martin has said that he wants to adopt children from around the world.
The 35-year-old Livin' La Vida Loca singer told reporters in Puerto Rico, where he is performing this weekend, that he would like "one [child] from each continent".
"It's something we want to begin to create this year, a family of many colours," he said, according to ABC News.
The unmarried Martin said he would follow protocol during the adoption process and would not expect to be treated differently than anyone else.
"I don't want any problems or misunderstandings … Some think as celebrities we can manipulate the system to have a quicker adoption," he added.
Martin is not the only celebrity who has recently spoken of their adoption plans; Gwyneth Paltrow said that she and husband Chris Martin dream of taking on a "whole bunch" of children.
