Geri Halliwell too wants to adopt from Africa

Argentina Star (IANS) Thursday 23rd April, 2009

Former Spice Girls singer Geri Halliwell wants to follow in the footsteps of Madonna and Angelina Jolie by adopting a child from Africa.

Halliwell insists she would love to expand her family by taking in an African boy or girl, as there are so many children suffering in the continent, reports contactmusic.com.

'I know it's such a cliche for a famous person to adopt a child but that wouldn't stop me. After working for the UN, I know the AIDS epidemic in Africa has left so many children orphaned. It would be an absolute gift to be able do it,' she said.

Halliwell recently split from fiance Fabrizio Politi and is a single mother to two-year-old daughter Bluebell Madonna, from her relationship with British screenwriter Sacha Gervasi.

    Four days ago marked two decades since Ratko Mladic became the commander of the main staff of the army of Republika Srpska - the VRS. On that day, Mladic began his full participation in a criminal endeavour that was already in progress. On that day, he assumed the mantle of realising through military might the criminal goals of ethnically cleansing much of Bosnia. On that day he commenced his direct involvement in serious international crimes.
