Brooklyn Decker wants to adopt special needs child

Battleship star Brooklyn Decker has been inspired by her Special Olympics athlete aunt to adopt a special needs child.

The supermodel/actress, who is married to tennis ace Andy Roddick, is open to a parental challenge.

She tells Flare magazine, "I want to adopt a child or a baby with an intellectual disability one day... That's always been a goal of mine.

"Unfortunately a lot of kids with intellectual disabilities are given up for adoption when they're born 'cause it's a lot for a family."
