Michael Jackson is reportedly planning to adopt a child from the UK.

The King of Pop has been talking about expanding his family when he stays in London for his residency at the O2 Arena this year.

Jackson, 50, already has three children - Prince, 11, and Paris Katherine, 10, from his brief marriage to his former dermatology nurse Deborah Rowe, and Prince Michael II, five, although it's not know who his mother is.

A source said told the Sunday Express newspaper: "Before his concerts he has said he wants to spend at least three weeks in Britain, getting used to the time zone and exploring the country.

"It is during this period that he wants to have meetings about adoption. He has not said if he wants a boy or girl, just that it would be good for the family to have another brother or sister."
