Ricky Martin has announced that he is considering adoption and hopes to start the process this year.

The Latin American singer told reporters in Puerto Rico, where he is performing this weekend, that he would like to adopt one child "from each continent".

"It's something we want to begin to create this year, a family of many colours," Ricky is quoted by ABC News as saying.

The 'Livin' La Vida Loca' star added that he does not want to receive negative media attention as a result of his plans, and will make sure to follow the proper process.

"I want to do it right," he said. "I don't want any problems or misunderstandings. Some think as celebrities we can manipulate the system to have a quicker adoption."
