Charlize Theron with Jackson
Charlize Theron is planning to adopt a second child.
Charlize Theron is getting ready to adopt a second child to be a brother or sister to two-year-old son Jackson.
Charlize is keen for her son, Jackson, two, to have a sibling, and will be starting the process in the New Year.
A source told National Enquirer magazine: "Charlize admits it's a lot to go through, but she definitely wants Jackson to have a little brother. She's starting the process all over again right after the New Year. She wants Jackson to have a sibling who isn't four or five years younger than him - she wants to raise them together."
The South Africa-born actress has not yet decided which country to adopt the child from or whether he or she will share Jackson's African-American heritage.
The source added: "She's made no decision about that yet. She is eyeing the possibility of adopting a child from South Africa this time, but she hasn't decided. She just knows she wants another baby."
Charlize became mother to Jackson in 2012 and claims she always knew she would adopt.
She said at the time: "My mother found a letter I wrote. It said, 'Would you please take me to orphanage, so that I can go and adopt a baby?' I always knew I would adopt. Always."
Speaking of being a single parent, she added: "You know, I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom. I didn't wish for that, but it happened."
