- Inspired by her friend Sheryl Crow, who has adopted two children on her own, Jennifer Aniston is reportedly in the process of discussion adoption options with her lawyers:
“Money isn’t an issue, but time is,” says a source, “Jen doesn’t want to wait four years, like Sandra Bullock did, to get her adopted child. She’s hoping it will take no more than a year.

She can’t wait to hold Levi – and eventually become a mom herself.” [ShowbizSpy]
