Queen Latifah Adopting A Baby
Queen Latifah is jumping on the Jolie-driven Hollywood bandwagon and planning an adoption, according to reports. The rapper-turned-movie actress, however, is bucking the international trend and becoming the mommy of an American child.
Latifah - real name Dana Owens - announced in June her plans to start a family, telling reporters it would "happen eventually." Now, though, the National Enquirer is attempting to confirm that the adoption is a go.
"I can understand why people go outside the U.S. You can adopt someone here, and the birth parents have three years to come back and get that child. That's terrifying," Latifah said. However, the entertainer still believes in helping out domestic orphans, adding "(American children) can use just as much assistance as someone from around the world. I want to do something here."
Latifah has always remained tight-lipped about her personal life, despite repeated claims she is dating her female personal trainer Jeanette Jenkins. However, a source tells the National Enquirer the pair "are hoping to have a little one by Christmas."
