Winer TECHNICOLOR EYES TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2009 CELEBRITY Elton John to attempt adoption BY GREGORY KATZ Associated Press LONDON — Look out Madonna and Angelina Jolie — pop star LONDON—L and Angelina Jolie Elton John may be joining the ranks of A-list celebrities with adopted children. John and long-time partner David Furnish are interested in trying to adopt a Ukrainian toddler named Lev they met during an orphanage tour there. but that he was reluctant until he met Lev at an orphanage where many of the children's parents have died from AIDS. The singer told reporters in Ukraine on Saturday that Furnish has long wanted to adopt a child "David always wanted to adopt a child and I always said 'no' because I am 62 and I think because of the traveling I do and the life I have, maybe it wouldn't be fair for the child," John said. "What better opportunity to replace someone I lost than to replace him with someone I can give a future to." "But having seen Lev today, I would love to adopt him. I don't know how we do that but he has stolen my heart. And ELTON JOHN Entertainer John and Furnish, 46, toured the orphanage — where John performed for the children — as part of his Elton John's AIDS Foundation work. Ukraine has one of the fastest rising rates of HIV infection in Europe. He acknowledged bureaucratic hurdles may make adoption of a Ukrainian child impossible. he has stolen David's heart and it would be wonderful if we can have a home. I've changed my mind today." "It broke my heart because he was such a genius and so young and has two wonderful children," John said. "What better opportunity to replace someone I lost than to replace him with someone I can give a future to." John said he was motivated in part by the sudden death last week of one of his closest friends, keyboardist Guy Babylon. 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
