Jessica Simpson Plans to Adopt - Again  7/15/05

Pop star-turned-movie babe Jessica Simpson is hoping to adopt a baby after her first attempt to become a young mother was dashed when she learned she couldn't smuggle a child out of Mexico.

The pretty blonde, 25, was just 16 when she visited a Mexican orphanage on a vacation and she desperately wanted to become a teenage mum.

Simpson reveals, "That's what I wanted for my birthday but I couldn't legally get a baby across the Mexican border."

But the singer plans to realise her dream in the coming year.

She adds, "I'll end up doing something which will touch somebody in some way that's good... through orphanages."
