Queen Latifah is so keen to start a family she's making plans to see if she's got what it takes to be a parent.
"I'm filling out the paperwork to be, like, a foster parent, so maybe sometimes I can kinda just help out in that way - just when they need, like, an emergency placement and I happen to be home."
Once she gets her foster parent permit, the rapper/actress says she'll start adopting in the US: "I wanna adopt an American baby... just because there are so many kids here that need our help."
"My sister's a social worker in Newark, New Jersey and there's so many kids that could use like a good home.
"It's nothing about going out of the country, that's great, and I get why a lot of people do (that) - because of our laws here (but) I just feel, like, if I do adopt I'll probably just help a kid right in the 'hood."
