Fance's first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy wants to have a baby with her husband President Nicolas Sarkozy but would be just as happy to adopt one, she says.
"I would like that, but I don't know if at my age it would be possible," the 41-year-old singer and former supermodel told Figaro Magazine when asked if she hoped for a second child.
"If it's not biologically possible, I'll adopt one," she added.
In 2001, Bruni-Sarkozy had a son with her then lover, philosopher Raphael Enthoven. She married the French leader, who has three sons from two previous marriages, in February last year.
"I'm not obsessed by blood ties," she told Le Figaro, explaining her attitude to adoption. "I think you can build a powerful bond without that."
