Anastacia Considers Adoption

Singer-songwriter Anastacia is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Sandra Bullock and adopt a child as a single mother.

The I'm Outta Love singer split from her husband, bodyguard Wayne Newton, earlier this year after three years of marriage. During their union she played stepmom to his kids, and now she's keen to have a child of her own.

The 41-year-old singer is seriously considering adoption: "Having children has been a hope for me since I was very young." She says. "For a period of time (when I was married) I was saying no, but I'd have to be 60 to give up hope." She adds, "I would adopt like Sandra Bullock. There doesn't have to be a father, a mother, two dogs and 2.5 children to be a perfect family."
