You remember that Julia Roberts is a Hindu now, right? She chants and has beads. It’s not the worst thing, honestly. I’d rather a celebrity dabble in Hinduism than Scientology or Kabbalah. Well, since Julia is a Hindu and since she spent so much time in Bali and India, Julia is now thinking about getting herself an adorable Indian baby. Yes, according to British and American tabloid sources, Julia has already begun contacting adoption agencies in India and Bali in the hopes of formally adopting a child. It’s actually kind of nice:

Julia Roberts is said to be in the process of trying to adopt a child from India. The 42-year-old, who was in London last week for the premiere of her film Eat Pray Love, already has three children with cameraman Danny Moder – twins Hazel and Finn, five, and Henry, three.

She suffered from complications during her previous pregnancies but is still keen to add to her brood. According to one of her closest pals she and Danny, 41, who married eight years ago, are set to follow in the footsteps of fellow Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Madonna and Meg Ryan by adopting a child from abroad.

“Julia has wanted more children for years, but two things have stopped her,” the friend says. “Her past pregnancies were fraught with complications and she was forced into an extended hospital stay right before she had her twins. What’s more, she’s been very focused in the last two and a half years on trying to rebuild her status as America’s No. 1 sweetheart. But now that she’s winding down her Eat, Pray, Love promotional duties, she says she’s going to adopt. After all she has been through, she realizes that adoption is perhaps the best way forward.”

“Julia has a special connection to India because of her new Hindu faith and her experience filming there. But she says she wants to look at all the options and likes the idea of a child from Bali.“

She said to have contacted adoption agencies in Bali and India, and is exploring her options.

“Brad and Angelina have been a huge influence in persuading Julia and Danny to adopt… the fact that they’ve managed to cope with six children has proven to them it’s feasible to raise a large family while making movies.”

“Julia and Danny love the idea of their kids having another baby in the house,” the pal says. “And it feels so right that the next member of the family should come from a different culture.”

Call me crazy, but I think Julia would be an ideal candidate for adoption. Okay, maybe not ideal, but I do think she’s probably a very good mother. This comes from someone who doesn’t care for Julia all that much – I respect how she’s raising her children, and I think her kids are probably quite normal and grounded, and if Julia wants to throw an Indian baby into the mix, the more the merrier. Why not?
