Is Elton John joining the celebrity adoption band-wagon?

Word is out 62 year old living music legend Elton John and his husband "would love" to adopt a 14-month old boy from Ukraine.  Apparently the HIV positive child living in an orphanage won the hearts of both Elton and David  and even managed to change the star's mind about adoption.  [According to news reports, in the the past, the famous musician did not feel his lifestyle of frequent traveling would be fair for a child.]

"Staff, fetch me the child I won from Africa!"

Madonna has been granted all celebrity AP privileges that go with Mercy's adoption from Malawi.

My personal favorite part of the fan-fare welcoming of Mercy into the home(s) of mother Madonna:

Madonna's lawyer, Alan Chinula, said the singer would not personally fetch the child but would send her staff.

"She might leave any time next week, Madonna would not come to collect (Chifundo) but she will travel with her officials," he said.
