are
hoping
to
adopt
a
baby
girl
from
Africa,

reports.

a
child
after
the
footballer"s
recent
visit
to
poverty-stricken
Sierra
Leone.
According
to
Grazia
magazine,
David
came
close
to
tears
as
he
witnessed
the
plight
of
African
orphans
during
his
four-day
trip
as
United
Nations
Children"s
Fund
goodwill
ambassador.
During
the
trip
the
former
England
captain
helped
immunise
babies
and
witnessed
a
birth.
"I
was
close
to
tears.
I
had
to
step
back
and
take
a
deep
breath.
I'm
a
very
emotional
person
and
I'm
even
more
emotional
now
I'm
a
parent," he
said
upon
his
return,"
Contactmusic
quoted
him,
as
saying.
The
sources
have
also
revealed
that
the
Beckhams
have
sought
advice
from
friend
Tom
Cruise,
who
adopted
a
son
and
daughter
with
ex-wife
Nicole
Kidman.
A
representative
for
the
Beckhams
responded:
"They
both
have
said
that
they
admire
people
who
go
through
the
adoption
process,
their
focus
is
raising
their
own
three
boys."
