Former child star MELISSA JOAN HART has become the latest celebrity to consider adoption - because she has always dreamed of having a big family.
The actress is already mum to two young sons - Mason, five, and three-year-old Brady - but she admits she’s planning to add more children to her brood.
And Hart tells OKMagazine.com she is seriously considering adopting a child.
She explains, "I don’t know how that’s going to happen or exactly where it’s going to fall in but I think that maybe when ours are a little bit bigger and I can’t have kids anymore maybe then that will be the right time for it.
"My mom had seven children. There’s eight in my family in total… I just figure I’m like her and I’m going to want lots of kids and so I figure when I’m done having children then I’ll want to have more so I’d love to adopt. I would love to keep going and growing with my family."

Playboy boss HUGH HEFNER suspects his ex-fiancee CRYSTAL HARRIS broke off their engagement after finding love with another man.
The magazine mogul was jilted days before the couple’s planned wedding last month (Jun11) and Hefner believes the 25-year-old model may have called off the ceremony after falling for someone else.
In his first TV interview since the split, Hefner tells CNN newsman Piers Morgan, "I really don’t know what happened. I think that in time the rest of the story will play out… There’s more that we don’t know. I think there’s at least one other guy in the picture… I am prepared for that probability (of another man). I think that is part of it.
"The explanation probably has more to do with the fact that it had run its course and she didn’t really love me." The publisher is also convinced that Harris - who launched her debut single four days before she was due to walk down the aisle - was more interested in fame than being his wife.
He adds, "I think that the career was more important to her than she let on. As a matter of fact, when we were in London, she was thinking more about the song than (the relationship)."

JESSICA ALBA was stunned to learn a Chinese girl planned to undergo cosmetic surgery to look more like the actress, branding the superfan’s quest "bizarre".
A 21 year old, known only as Xiaoqing, admitted last year (10) she wanted to transform her looks in a desperate bid to win back her former boyfriend, whose favourite actress is Alba - and she was offered a cosmetic overhaul for free by surgeons in Shanghai.
The Sin City star reached out to the girl to plead with her not to change her appearance and Xiaoqing gave up her operation plans.
Alba has now addressed the controversy, telling America’s Allure magazine, "That’s just so bizarre." She adds, "The physical is so fleeting anyway. And when you’re in a relationship, the physical lasts for, maximum, two years. And then you don’t care how attractive (sic) you are to that person - if they drive you nuts, they drive you nuts."

KATIE HOLMES used her own experiences of parenthood to film scenes for upcoming thriller DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, as it gave her "more insight" into her character’s mindset.
The actress plays a mother figure to her boyfriend’s child in the new horror, and she admits being a mum to five-year-old Suri transformed her approach to tackling the tough role.
She tells Britain’s OK! magazine, "Any child in peril means something different to me now I’m a mother. You go on alert and you know the sound of your own child’s voice and cry immediately.
"Being a mother only gave me more insight. When you’re a parent, you can’t turn things on and off. It’s kind of like you’re raw. I think a tremendous amount of strength is revealed when you become a parent."

Pop star JESSIE J was terrified after suffering a stroke in her teens because she was convinced she’d be left paralysed.
The Price Tag hitmaker fell seriously ill in the early days of her songwriting career and feared it would kill her chances of making it in the music industry.
And she’s revealed her condition was so serious she was concerned she’d never walk again.
The singer tells Glamour magazine, "I’d just been signed by Sony, had got back from America and I was sat in the hospital thinking, ‘Woah, hold up a minute. Why did I have a stroke?’ It made me realise that, whoever you are, wherever you’re from, however many times a day you run or whatever you do eat or don’t eat… s**t happens, and you get ill.
"When you’re sitting there thinking, ‘Will I walk again? Will I sing again? Will my right side go back to normal?’ you think: ‘I haven’t got time to waste now.’ And that’s when I kicked into gear and didn’t take any s**t."

MORRISSEY has taken extraordinary action against the owner of a fan website by banning him for life from the singer’s concerts.
The former The Smiths frontman declared war on Morrissey-solo.com after owner David Tseng refused to prevent members from discussing the star’s private life or criticising his career moves.
The singer stepped up his campaign against the forum last month (Jun11) by taking to the stage during a show in England wearing a T-shirt printed with the words: "F**k Morrissey-solo.com".
Tseng was shocked when Morrissey’s security guards ejected him from a concert in Copenhagen, Denmark on Monday (11Jul11) - and now it’s emerged the Suedehead hitmaker has banned Tseng from all of his gigs because of his "poisonous" website.
A spokeswoman for the Morrissey tour tells WENN, "Mr Tseng via his poisonous website has caused so much intentional distress to Morrissey and Morrissey’s band over the years that Mr Tseng is not welcome at any Morrissey shows."

The Poker Face hitmaker headed Down Under earlier this month (Jul11) to play a series of concerts to coincide with the release of her latest album, Born This Way.

A report on the music website suggests the messy missiles were thrown outside The Arq club but failed to reach their target - hitting an onlooker instead.
In April (11), Justin Bieber narrowly avoided getting hit when he was pelted with eggs during a concert at Sydney’s Acer Arena.

The Duchess star plays freedom fighter Peggy Carter in the new movie, starring Chris Evans as the superhero, and she threw herself into shaping up for the female lead - but Atwell pushed her body to the limit.

SHARON OSBOURNE wept tears of joy on Tuesday (12Jul11) when she realised her stolen wedding ring had been found after seven years - she spotted the priceless jewellery on a crimebusting TV show.
The rock matriarch-turned-talk-show host was left heartbroken in 2004 after burglars targeted the family’s luxury home in Buckinghamshire, England and stole a haul of pricey gems including her wedding and engagement rings.
She tuned in to the BBC’s Crimewatch show on Tuesday and was stunned when presenters displayed a cache of stolen items recently recovered by cops - which included her 10-carat diamond Tiffany ring.
In a post on Twitter.com, Osbourne’s daughter Kelly writes, "Thank you crime watch my mum is over the moon thats (sic) (her) wedding ring she cried with joy because she can get it back! Thank you!" Now BBC bosses have urged Ozzy Osbourne’s wife to contact cops to verify the jewellery is hers.
A spokeswoman tells WENN, "The item went out as a ‘find’ of things that were taken in a burglary. The police haven’t been contacted by the Osbournes so whether we can verify what Kelly’s tweeting, we are not sure. We need them to contact the police." Crimewatch presenters appeal for help from the public to crack serious crimes and trace the owners of recently-recovered stolen property.
Osbourne’s wedding ring was among a haul of stolen jewellery and designer watches - worth more than $1.6 million (£1 million) - which was recovered from a house in north England during a raid last year (10).
