Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Lopez, Consider Adoption

The latest celebrities to consider adopting children are Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Lopez.

Simpson, 25, is helping create awareness of interracial adoption by establishing an organization for adopted children. She's been visiting orphanages in Mexico with her family since she was 11. Simpson credits Angelina Jolie with giving her the inspiration to consider adoption. She plans to adopt first and to have biological kids sometime in the future.

Simpson is best known for starring in the MTV reality show “Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica."

Jennifer Lopez, who has apparently been trying to get pregnant for two years and eats spinach three times a day to increase her chances of conceiving, says she may adopt a baby from Puerto Rico if she’s unable to conceive.
