Singer Alicia Keys hasn’t even given birth to her firstborn yet and she’s already interested in adopting a child from Africa in the future. The pregnant entertainer, who is expecting her first child with her fiance, rapper/producer Swizz Beatz, heads a charity called “Keep A Child Alive” that helps children whose parents have died of AIDS. And the heartbreaking trips she regularly takes to Africa has inspired her to want to help out in any way she can. She tells Britain’s Daily Mirror:
“Adopting is definitely not out of the question. I would love to figure out the ways that could work for me. I felt I wanted to scoop up the children I met in Africa and take them home. At this point I kinda feel I have amazing brothers and sisters in Africa. Hopefully I can be their big sister who they know they can depend on and will always be there, fighting for them. The people I met last time I was in Africa inspired me more than anything in my life. I cried a lot. It was extremely emotional and it changed me. It was heartbreaking but also heart lifting.”
