Westlife Star Pledges To Adopt Child

Westlife star Bryan McFadden wants to adopt a child to give something back after his TV star wife went through years of living in care.Kerry McFadden lived on and off with her mother in Liverpool, spending time in care and with eight foster families.Her chart star husband said they now want to take on a child without a family, although it may not be for a few years.
"It's just because Kerry went through so much care when she was growing up, being fostered," he explained.
"It would be nice to pay that back for another child. It would be nice to help a troubled kid."
The Westlife star said he and his wife were thinking of adopting in a few years' time, although they were worried it would be "unfair to people who can't have children".
Bryan and his wife, who presents ITV1 daytime show Loose Women, have two children - Molly, and newborn Lilly Sue.
The Westlife singer was named celebrity dad of the year 2003.
But he said the plans were in abeyance for the time being because "it would be very unfair to adopt a child because I'm never home".
"It's a tough thing trying to spend time with the band and a career and spend time with the family too.
"I don't think it would be fair to bring another child into that."
