Tom's Secret Adoption Joy!

TOM CRUISE SAYS ADOPTING HIS CHILDREN IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IN HIS LIFE. WITH HIS DAUGHTER ISABELLA’S HUSH-HUSH PLANS TO ADOPT, SOURCES SAY HE’S COUNTING THE DAYS!

WHEN Tom Cruise and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman adopted their daughter Isabella in 1993, he couldn’t have imagined how much his little girl would follow in his footsteps. After the couple split in 2001, Bella — along with her adopted baby brother, Connor — sided with Tom and moved in with him fulltime in Beverly Hills, forging a close father-daughter bond. Bella is also a devoted follower of the Church of Scientology, just like Tom.

Now, daughter is taking a cue from dad once again. Sources say Bella, 25, secretly has her heart set on adopting a baby — and Tom is over the moon! “She wants to give a child the same opportunities Tom gave her,” reveals a pal, adding that Bella’s husband, Max Parker, is totally on board. “Tom will be there to help with the adoption process.” Actually, the source adds, “adopting seems to have been his idea. Tom is ready to get his hands dirty, and he will put his grandchild above anything and everything!”
