Susan Boyle : Scottish singer to adopt a child

Susan Boyle, 53, wants to adopt a child.

The YouTube viral hit maker of ‘I dreamed a dream’ says she has always wanted a family of her own.

In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mirror: “I have so much love to give, I have so much to give someone that I want to adopt.

“I want to adopt a child who doesn’t have much, someone who I can really give something to. It’s a way of giving back for me.

“I have been considering it for about a year now, I love children, I always have but I couldn’t have them.”

And despite the fact that she is a lot older than most first-time parents, it seems that singleton Susan has made her decision on the situation.

“I want to give a youngster what I didn’t have, and now I can do that.

“I know it is all a long process but I’ve never been more keen to do it. The rules can be quite strict but let’s hope.

“We’ll have to see what social ­services say but it would make me so happy.”

But the 53-year-old star hopes her fans will have faith in her decision to become a full-time mum alongside her fortunate singing career.

“I do know that I’m single and 50-odd. People don’t think I’m being serious when I say it, they have a giggle at me. Let’s see.”
