Simpson to adopt in the future

Jessica Simpson has set her sights on adoption, following a long line of celebrity mums.

The singer hopes to follow the likes of Madonna and Angelina Jolie in adopting children in the future, but she reveals that she also plans to give birth to at least one child herself.

"I want to adopt before I actually have my own kids," she told the Daily Star. "I want three kids - but I don't know if I can give birth three times. I'll have to see how much pain is involved first time round!"

Simpson referred to Jolie specifically whilst talking about the issue, commending the actress for increasing awareness of the possibilities: "I think Angelina Jolie has done amazing things. The international adoption rate has skyrocketed."
