KEY POINTS:
Jennifer Aniston is planning to adopt, it has been reported.
The former Friends star is so desperate to start a family she is said to have contacted the same adoption agency that helped singer Sheryl Crow find her new son Wyatt.
A source told Britain's OK! magazine: "Jen has been thinking about adopting for a while. But after seeing Sheryl and Wyatt together she didn't know why she was still waiting."
Jennifer, 38, has always longed to become a mother and was said to be "devastated" by rumours her split from ex-husband Brad Pitt was because she wasn't ready to have children.
A source said: "Jen was devastated by those nasty whispers. The reason they split had nothing to do with kids."
Jennifer was also said to be deeply hurt by how quickly Brad settled down with lover Angelina Jolie.
Brad and Angelina had a daughter, Shiloh, in May 2006 - just months after Brad's divorce was finalised - and they also have three adopted children.
Jennifer is now looking ahead to a brighter future with new lover British model Paul Sculfor - who was spotted sneaking out of her Malibu home early on Sunday morning.
The couple are so smitten with each other they are even talking about moving in together.
A source said: "She is happier and more excited than she has ever been."
A representative for Jennifer has denied adoption rumours, saying: "It is completely false. Jennifer has not met with any adoption agencies."
