Simpson takes on Mexican orphanage

Jessica Simpson is taking adoption plans so seriously she has hatched a plan to buy a Mexican orphanage.

The pop star has been talking about her adoption hopes for months, revealing she almost took home a little boy when she visited the Casa Hogar Elim orphanage in Mexico City when she was a teenager in 1999.

And now her dreams are taking shape - her publicist Rob Shuter confirms the singer and her family are looking to take over an orphanage.

He says: "Jessica and her family have anonymously contributed money to orphanages for several years. It is true that Jessica is exploring options to further help these children in need."

Recently Simpson confessed: "I want to adopt and I plan to adopt before I have my own kids."
