Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban are considering adopting a child from Vietnam, it has been reported.

Dang Minh Dao, deputy of the country's Department Of International Adoption, is said to have told Australia's New Idea magazine that the couple had requested information about the process.

"Yes, Nicole Kidman wants a baby from Vietnam. We've been approached by the American Embassy," the Daily Mail quotes him as saying.

When pressed for further details, he said: "This is very sensitive information. We are keeping it closed."

Nick Keegan from The Kianh Foundation, which supports the Hoi An Orphanage in Hoi An City, added: "We've heard rumours our orphanage is being considered but we haven't heard any more."

A representative for the actress's Australian lawyer has refused to discuss the speculation.

Kidman and Urban, who married in 2006, are already parents to 11-month-old Sunday Rose, while Kidman also has two children from her marriage to Tom Cruise.
