New York, May 19 (ANI): Charlize Theron has revealed that she wanted to adopt a baby since she was 8.
The 'Snow White and the Huntsman' star said that her mother recently found a letter that she had written as a girl, still living in South Africa.
"It said, 'Would you please take me to orphanage, so that I can go and adopt a baby?'" the New York Post quoted her as telling Australia's Madison magazine.
"I always knew I would adopt. Always," she said.
The 36-year-old star adopted baby Jackson in March and, ever since, the actress has been photographed cradling the toddler in her arms as she promotes her reimagining of the Snow White fairy tale.
While she says that she had long thought about adoption, Theron admits that she didn't necessarily see herself doing it solo.
"I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom," she said.
"I didn't wish for that, but it happened," she said.
Theron split with her longtime boyfriend, Stuart Townsend, in 2010 after nine years together. While the two never married, they did wear "commitment rings."
"[Marriage] has never been that important to me," she said.
"I don't know why exactly. Some might say it's because my parents didn't have a good marriage, but I don't think so. I treat my relationships like marriages. The ceremony isn't that important to me," she added. (ANI)
