The superstar singer and rapper is looking forward to become a mother. Queen Latifah has quite an impressive acting career and a lot of experiences to brag about and she wants a child to share them with. In an interview with Barbara Walters on “The View” Queen Latihas said she wants to adopt.

It’s a fairly known fact that Queen Latifah wants to be a mom. And she’s been talking about adoption since she was barely legal. However, as the actress told Walters this Wednesday she’s is finally preparing to bring a child home. “I’m actually kind of working on that” confessed Queen Latifah during Wednesday’s “The View”.

The Grammy Award winner confessed to Barbara Walters it was a movie that convinced her adopting is the right way to go. “I think I saw one of those specials…you know those movies of the week. And it was like – and I just always wanted to bring a child home” Queen Latifah said.

And the 42-year-old actress hinted the formal process has already begun. ABC’s host, Barbara Walters asked the rapper-actress-singer if she’s really all that serious about adopting a child. “I’m totally serious” answered Queen Latifah. In fact she even made a joke about it: “if you got a kid that you don’t…Just give me a year – let me set up camp and send me the kid. But no, no totally”.
