Britney Spears to adopt Chinese twins
The desperate singer has told friends she's in the final stages of talks with an adoption agency and plans to go ahead with the move very soon.
This latest twist in the Britney saga comes after the recent news that hubby KEVIN FEDERLINE has been given full custody of the children Sean Preston, two, and one-year-old Jayden James.
My snapper caught Britney, who still has access to the kids, enjoying a precious moment with her boys at her home in LA on Friday.
Friends feel that Britney has decided to adopt the two six-year-old tots from China in a frantic bid to fill the void left by losing her sons to K-Fed.
Britney's bad week got even worse when she was banned from driving with the kids in the car after she ran a red light in Hollywood.
And in another worrying move for the former Pop Princess, I can reveal she is splashing out £25,000 on her OWN funeral.
Apparently, Brit has forked out the cash because she fears her spiralling lifestyle may lead to an early grave.
The grim revelation has friends and family worried that Brit is growing increasingly depressed and that her unhealthy lifestyle is taking its toll.
But pals are baffled at the double whammy surprise.
A source close to Britney told me: "It doesn't seem that Britney has thought this through completely. Adoption and a funeral? The two don't exactly go hand-in-hand.
"Paying for a funeral is a sensible thing to do—but not when you're only 25!
"It's a case of too much, too soon with Britney.
"Not a week goes by without something strange happening to her now. She's doing herself no favours."
If Brit does go through with the adoption, she'll join the club of celeb mums who have done the same, including MADONNA and ANGELINA JOLIE.

Offensive? Report commentHow can this possibly be, when the courts have said she is an unfit mother for her own 2 children?????? This just makes a mockery of the US adoption system. And why is she not trying to sort out her parenting issues with her own children so she can spend some time looking after them?????????? This is just so outrageous....

Offensive? Report commentShe has cash she can buy babies. Ever notice how her dogs disappear after a few months? Bit Bit, Lucky (well not very Lucky) and the other one. She gets bored of stuff.
She wants a different style child now, like people buy different style cars she wasnt a different style of child, she has had white and now wants chinese. She will get bored of them to, like people get bored of going to the same restaurant.

Offensive? Report commentI can't believe that even American law is that stupid whereby someone is deemed unsuitable to bring up their own kids, but by the way, you can bring up some older foreign kids. It is a known fact that if you adopt children older than 4 that they have memories of being unsettled and can be very difficult children. Definately not the type of child a finicky celebrity should be entitled to attempt to bring up!
Comment number: 91103078
Offensive? Report commentActually i just thought about this a little longer.
China now requires that adoption is by a couple (no more singles as of May 2007), and that each member of the couple has reached at least age 30. Furthermore, if it is a second marriage then the marriage needs to be for at least five years. Applicants must be mentally stable, no criminal convictions and no history of alcohol or drug abuse.
I think Britney fails on just about all the criteri.

Offensive? Report commentIf this story is true i am absolutely disgusted, saddened and angry that this woman has been allowed to be 'responsible' for another two precious children, she's clearly not in her right mind at the moment, the adoption agency must have been paid a princely sum. It goes to show nothing is sacred, everything can be bought for a price and these poor tots will end up a casualty of this woman's lunacy.

Offensive? Report commentI get tired of reading about this woman everyday. I think it's better for her to clean up her act, find god and herself, take her of her own kids and be a good mother to them. How can she adopt when she can't take care of her own? I thought she was a beautfuil talented singer way back but her motives were always silly and she is getting siller and stupid. Babies are not like clothes for god sake. What did she see in that Kevin? He is a gold digger and a waste of space who runied her life this the same woman who not so long ago sang a song about been stonger she should use that!!!

Comment number: 91129278
Offensive? Report commentGotta call BS on this one. Perhaps she WANTS to adopt, and its possible that an unscrupulous agency is taking her application (and money). But she does not meet the requirements to adopt from China. Not gonna happen. Sorry, Brit, this isn't something you can do on a whim because you have money. There are a lot of very thorough background checks involved. (Yes, even in America. Adoption is NOT easy.)

Offensive? Report commentI think that Britney needs to get her act together and fight to try and win back her sons. The US adoption agencies and any other adoption agencies should be put under investigation if they allow Britney Spears to adopt those twin Chinese children. She don't even fully take care of her own two kids and she wouldn't even take good care of those twins either. Her family needs to lock her up in a place where she can get her life straightened out, even if it's against her will.

Comment number: 91140686
Offensive? Report commentI find this terribly hard to believe, considering China's harsh reproductive laws: one child per household/family/couple. The only way to have TWO kids is to have twins. Even if the twins are BOTH girls, the chances of a Chinese fam giving up the RARE opp to have TWO kids is right at ZERO. Even though they are KNOWN for killing, selling and otherwise disposing of girl babies -- but TWO? So unpopular are girl babies that the Chinese are NINE MILLION females short for this generation.
Worrisome.

1) She's only 25. You must be at least 30 to adopt from China.
2) She's single, which would also disqualify her.
3) Her arrest record, as well as her drug use, would land her application in the rubbish pile.

Offensive? Report commentWow! 90% of these comments are trashing Britney. Has anyone ever thought that she may not be doing any of the stuff the media is saying. If the media wants they can make anyone look like an ass. Maybe the girl is normal like everyone else, loves her kids to death and is devastated about her divorce. Maybe the girl went out to party and live it up a little bit after being stuck at home with 2 babies while her user ex husband was out partying. A divorce is like death and alot of people hit rock bottom. Has anyone EVER thought that Britney may really be a great person and loves her kids more than anything and is devasted that her children have to go through this too. It's us the public that is making this worse for those children by beliving the media. Let's all start giving Britney some support and bring the media down instead and give those kids the mom they deserve because REALLY people we are the problem not Britney...

US adoption laws don't govern what CHINA does, you twits. B. You're all morons if you actually believe this. I could follow suit and say "only in Britain could people be this gullible" but of course this isn't true; stupidity exists everywhere.

Offensive? Report commentFirst off it is not American law that would allow her to bring the children into the country as her own, it is chinese.
Second this would NEVER EVER happen for so many reasons.
Yes I am aware she is a celebrity and has money so she can pretty much buy her way into anything.
But China has the most strick laws out of any country in the world when it comes to international adoption. The fact that shes single and only 25 there alone would disqualify her.

Offensive? Report commentBritney Spears have been called all kinds of name, her parental skills have been questioned, she had been in so much trouble that you can hardly see what is the source of her troubled life, IT IS THE PAPARAZZI, they drive her crazy, excessive partying ang not wearing underwear are things that I hate about Britney, but if your every movement is being followed by this parasites how can you live a normal life? Britney made so many bad decision, the worst is marrying Gold digger, user and parasite kevin, when Britneys trouble with paparazi started,kevin took advantage of her, Kevin presented himself as her knight and shining armor, britney believed him, they got married, Kevin live like a king doing anything he like, buying everything, partying ,long before britney became a party addict,with britneys money, while Kevin enjoying his new found fame and fortune, britney stayed at home waiting for her husband, Britney put her married life first, putting aside her career, gave birth to two lovely boys, at that time, Kevin was busy partying with britneys money, when they divorcve, Kevin has the guts to sue britney over kids custody but who is paying Kevins legal bills, BRITNEY again, isn't it that Kevin is living in spousal allowance provided by Britney which stop last NOv. 15, now he is using the kids to get full access to Britneys account, and we should not forget that Kevin dumped his former wife while she is pregnant so he can be with Britney, we are questioning Britneys parental skills, but I think Britney is a better parent, compared to Kevin, he and the paparazzi are pushing britney to the edge, after Princess Diana now its Britneys time, poor lady, maybe the reason she is adopting this chinesse kids, is she wanted someone to love her and to someone who will love her in return, BRITNEY AFTER ALL IS A HUMAN BEING

I love her but right now she is not capable to take care of herself and kids what makes it think she can take care of other ones. I believe she shouldn't be able to adopt intill she is fit to be a good caring parent and she is on her feet.

Shes bipolar- most famous people are- and in light of Sinead OConners admission that she attempted suicide on her birthday, I hoge Britney doesnt plan the same.
