No one seems to love Jennifer Aniston. But that big empty void in the middle of her heart won't be empty for long if she gets her way. Because she's planning on filling it by adopting a baby.
"Jennifer says that when her year-and-a-half affair with Vince ended, she started rethinking her priorities," a source tells the National Enquirer. "She's 37, and adopting a child would be a way to put some roots down without feeling desperate about the future. She says she'd love to have a son - that's what she's feeling in her heart."
Of course, that's what babies are for - to give you a sense of groundedness and keep you from feeling desperate about the future. They're like medication only you don't have to hide them from your friends. Of course, they do have their side-effects: you have to pay attention to them, which takes time away from paying attention to yourself, and there are all those inconvenient hospital trips and conferences with their teachers and other shit while you're trying to read scripts from bad TV pilots. The advantage to adopting, obviously, is that you can get one while he/she is already past that difficult early stage with the teething and the croup and the indiscriminate pooping. Actually, if Jen were really smart, she'd adopt herself a kid who was well past that early stage - like twenty years past. A nice college-age Malaysian kid who just needs a little cleaning up, a little food in him to fill him out. Of course, there are some who might frown on that sort of thing, but screw them. They don't understand a woman's needs. That ache a woman feels in her soul when she
I say go for it Jen. Treat yourself.
