Tyra Banks to adopt child

Tyra Banks has spoken about her plans to adopt a child.

The supermodel and television personality has insisted that she isn't jumping on the bandwagon by following in the footsteps of stars such as Madonna and Angelina Jolie - she has in fact wanted to adopt since she was young.

"I've wanted to adopt since I was eight, nine years old, before it was hip," Tyra told WENN. "I really do think I will. I don't have to have a child come from my womb to have a connection.

"Children that are already born are beautiful to me. I can definitely be a mother to them."
