Sheryl Crow on Adoption: ‘Things Always Work Out Perfectly’

It’s summertime, and for rockin’ mom Sheryl Crow, the living is busy!

In addition to her growing family – Crow recently announced the adoption of 9-week-old Levi James, a new brother for her elder son, 3-year-old Wyatt Steven – the Grammy-winning singer and breast cancer survivor is on tour with her latest album, 100 Miles From Memphis.

Despite her busy schedule, Crow, who appears on the August cover of Redbook, says motherhood is a top priority in her life. It’s a clarity she gained after treatment for breast cancer, which she was diagnosed with in early 2006.

Crow, 48, says she felt “an acute sense of urgency about how I wanted my life to feel,” so she started preparing to be an adoptive mother — taking part in a home study, filling out paperwork and learning infant CPR. “The idea was, if the opportunity came, I would be ready,” she explains.

Looks like Amy Poehler’s baby-on-the-way will have a friend from the start: her former Saturday Night Live costar and pal, Rachel Dratch, is expecting her first child, PEOPLE has confirmed.

The actress, 44, is due in September but no other details — including the baby’s father — are available.

The news was first noted by New York, who observed Dratch sporting her own baby bump alongside Poehler at a June 30 movie premiere.

Dratch recently appeared on SNL with Poehler and Tina Fey, and has guest-starred in shows like Ugly Betty, Wizards of Waverly Place and 30 Rock. She’s also starred in films like I Hate Valentine’s Day and Spring Breakdown.
