Famous Singer Hopes to Adopt Hatian Orphan

Celebrity pop singer Robbie Williams has stated publicly that he wants to adopt an orphan from Haiti. He visited the earthquake-ravaged country earlier this year, and the trip filled him with “instant guilt,” he says.

The trip left him longing to help an orphaned youngster – and the star admits he and fiancée Ayda Field are now considering adoption. He says, "I went with UNICEF and it is by far the worst place I’ve ever visited. I wanted to adopt straight away." [Source: ContactMusic.com]

It’s a sentiment shared by hundreds of people, who have flooded adoption agencies with inquiries about adopting kids from Haiti. In an effort to ensure kids’ safety, however, the Haitian Government enacted new procedures for existing adoption cases, and announced a temporary moratorium on new adoption requests.
