Daryl Hannah plans to adopt

Hollywood actress Daryl Hannah is desperate to follow in Angelina Jolie's footsteps by adopting a child.

However, the Splash star is not planning to adopt an African child because she believes that there are plenty of American orphans in need of a safe home.

She said: "There are more than half a million children here in the US who need to be adopted or need homes - so-called hard to adopt kids because they're not babies and come from troubled backgrounds - so I think that's probably the way I'd go."
