Victoria Beckham wants to adopt a girl

Victoria Beckham at Heathrow airport, London accompanied by her three boys, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz. (10/27/2006).

13 March 2007 - The former Spice Girl, who already has three sons, is desperate for a daughter and believes adopting a disadvantaged child would be the ideal solution.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Victoria is desperate to have a daughter to be girlie with. She loves the idea of having a girl to dress up, play with and make the family less male-oriented.

"She's been spending time with Katie Holmes and seeing her little girl has made Victoria really broody."

Victoria's friend Jennifer Lopez has reportedly told Victoria about a Mexican organization which helps find homes for South American orphans.

If Victoria and her husband David do adopt they will be the latest celebrities to open up their home to a disadvantaged child.

Madonna has temporary custody of a Malawi baby boy, while Angelina Jolie is planning to adopt for a third time.

Victoria's spokesperson refused to confirm the reports.

She said: "Victoria and David respect people who do adopt but they're happy with their family at the moment."

Angelina Jolie plans to adopt Vietnamese child

HANOI, Vietnam — Angelina Jolie has filed papers to adopt a Vietnamese child, the country's top adoption official said Friday.
A U.S. adoption agency representing the 31-year-old actress filed the papers at Vietnam's International Adoption Agency, said Vu Duc Long, the agency's director.
"She just filed the papers this week," Long said.
Jolie and her partner, Brad Pitt, have three children: 5-year-old son Maddox, adopted from Cambodia; 2-year-old daughter Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia; and another daughter, Shiloh, who was born to the couple in May.
Long would not name the U.S. adoption agency working with Jolie, who applied to adopt as a single parent.
A phone message left with Jolie's Los Angeles-based manager, Geyer Kosinski, wasn't immediately returned.
Jolie and Pitt, 43, made a surprise visit to Vietnam at Thanksgiving, when they visited the Tam Binh orphanage, on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City.
Their pictures were splashed across the front page of Vietnamese newspapers, showing the couple cruising around Ho Chi Minh City on a motorbike.
Nguyen Van Trung, the director of the Tam Binh orphanage, declined to comment. He said he was awaiting the papers from the International Adoption Agency.
