Elton John Interested in Adopting Ukrainian Child
Pop star Elton John, 62, is looking to adopt after, he says, an orphan toddler named Lev stole his heart.
John and longtime partner David Furnish met the child while touring a Ukrainian orphanage, the Associated Press reports. "David always wanted to adopt a child and I always said 'no' because I am 62 and I think because of the traveling I do and the life I have, maybe it wouldn't be fair for the child," the music legend told AP.
"But having seen Lev today, I would love to adopt him. I don't know how we do that but he has stolen my heart. And he has stolen David's heart and it would be wonderful if we can have a home. I've changed my mind today."
