Queen Latifah to reign over 18 children
Rapper-turned actress Queen Latifah revealed to Ellen Degeneres that she wants kids…18 to be exact.
The Bringing Down the House star wants to adopt but, unlike fellow celebrities Angelina Jolie and Madonna, she wants to adopt children from the states.
“I want to adopt an American baby…there’s just so many kids that could use a home,” she says. Latifah goes on to say that even though she realizes other countries have children that need help as well, she would rather “help a kid in the hood.”
Check out the full video on TMZ.
How do you feel about celebrities adopting outside of the US? I think that wherever there are kids who need homes, whether it be here or in another country, I am glad there are people who are willing to open up their homes and hearts.

I think it is about time a celeberty adopts a child from the US. There is some many kids suffering and that need homes in the US and nobody seems to care. People are wanting to bring other origan children into the US but not willing to help US kids in the same aspect.
