Supermodel-turned-talk show host Tyra Banks is planning to adopt a child. The 34-year-old wants to follow in the footsteps of celebrities including Madonna, Sharon Stone, and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt by opening her home to a child in need.

She says, “I’ve wanted to adopt since I was nine. I have a connection with children and they don’t have to come from my womb for me to have that connection.”
