Grease Is The Word panelist Sinitta to adopt two toddlers

Sinitta, most recently seen as a panelist on the talent search series Grease Is The Word, has revealed that she will soon be adopting two toddlers — brother and sister — ages 1 and 2.  The 38-year-old singer and actress has suffered two miscarriages since marrying husband Andy Willner in 2001, and a surrogate miscarried the couple’s twins last summer at 8-weeks.

I was at my lowest.  I thought I’d never get the chance to be a mum…[But now] it’s just a really exciting time for both of us.  If everything goes to plan we’ll have our babies by Christmas.  I can’t wait to bring them home. 

Sinitta said the decision to adopt two children at once was made, at least in part, because the couple "can afford to."  Also, Sinitta said, the children will be of mixed race "so they look like Andy and I biologically."

Whenever I see little mixed race children I go into my fantasy land.

Andy has two children from a previous marriage, whom Sinitta said she has a "very close" relationship with.

They’ve been part of the adoption process from day one.

I wish her and her family the best, because she deserves to have children after all of the loss that she has endured.

my heart always melts when a family can add babies to their lives.

i think it’s a very smart move to have two kids together so close in age. i wish i would’ve thought of that
