Don’t expect Mary J. Blige to be joining the ranks of celebrities like Madonna or Angelina Jolie when it comes to adopting. Though she’s never had any kids of her own, the 38-year-old powerhouse singer claims she’s already got her hands full. At the New Yorkers for Children event, where she was honored, Blige said, “I don’t think I’ll do foster care or adopt, to be quite honest. I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that [would be] poor parenting on my [part].” Blige is referring to her husband Kendu Isaacs three kids: Brianna, 23, Jordan, 11, and Nas, 10.

Do you hope to see Mary become a mother one day?
