American Idol judge, Paula Abdul has revealed that she is thinking about adopting a baby in the next three to five years.

Abdul, 44, told Now: “I do [want children]. I’ll probably adopt because I think it’ll be in the next three to five years.

“I wouldn’t necessarily adopt from abroad like some celebs. I just want a healthy baby.”

However, this doesn’t mean that marriage is on the cards for Ms Abdul, as she admitted last week that she was in no rush to get hitched to boyfriend JT Torregiani.
