After David Beckham went to Sierra Leone recently, the superstar couple is now hoping to adopt a little girl from the poverty stricken country.

The couple have long spoken of their wish to have a sister for their three sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

David, 32, spent four days in Sierra Leone in his role as a Goodwill Ambassador for United Nations’ children’s charity UNICEF two weeks ago.

During his heart-rendering trip, the LA Galaxy soccer star witnessed a birth and gave immunization drops to a newborn baby.

Upon his return to his luxury home in Los Angeles, David said: “I was close to tears. I had to step back and take a deep breath. I’m a very emotional person and I’m even more emotional now I’m a parent.”
