“Well, when things quiet down a bit I would like to maybe go at fostering,” Boyle, 58, toldThe Suncolumnist Dan Wootton on hisweekly podcast.
The singer — who has been kept busy so far this year with competing onAmerica’s Got Talent: The Championsand releasing a new album — said that while she regrets never having any children of her own, “I love kids.”
“They’re good fun to be with,” she said, adding that now that she has a “lovely house, why not share it?”

Boyle said that focusing on the positive parts of life keeps her feeling young in her late fifties.
“Thinking on the positive things, the fact I’ve got a tour this year… that keeps me young,” she said. “All the adrenaline keeps me young.”
