Elton John, 62, wants to adopt Ukranian toddler, Lev [video]
”Because of the traveling that I do, and the life I have, maybe it wouldn’t be the fair thing for a child. But after seeing Lev today, I would love to adopt him…. It’s so moving to see these children, to see people — like little Lev in the front row on David’s knee — smiling when he hasn’t got a mom or a dad, is one of the most moving things for me.”
