Washington, Dec 30: Britney Spears wants to adopt an orphan who lost his family in the 2004 Tsunami tragedy.

The 25-year-old ‘Toxic’ singer immediately fell for the four-year-old boy from Bali named Wang, when she read about his plight.

“She instantly wanted to help him and is sponsoring him until she can find out more and she has even written to officials seeking advice. The tsunami disaster was a tragedy very close to Britney's heart and she has dedicated a lot of her time to its charities, “ Hollywoodrag quoted a source, as saying.

The pop star who has two children with her estranged husband Sean Preston, has also consulted close pal Madonna, who recently adopted a Malawian child David.

The adoption plans are a part of her attempt to make a fresh start in the New Year with a musical comeback, following her bitter split with Kevin Federline.

“Britney's had a turbulent year and wants 2007 to be brilliant. As well as wanting to look after little Wang, she is determined to make a music comeback with a difference, “ the source added.
