Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed she and husband Chris Martin want to adopt a baby.

The actress - who already has a three-year-old daughter Apple and a 22-month-old son Moses with husband Chris Martin - says she and the Coldplay frontman are considering giving a home to an underprivileged child from her home city of New York.

She said: "We might get one from Brooklyn. No baby is more helpless than another baby. And I'm a New York girl. People who have a lot often feel they have a lot to give."

Gwyneth - who has houses in New York and London - has previously revealed Chris would like to adopt.

She said: "My husband wants to adopt. So I don't know. I'm sort of open for anything."

The 35-year-old beauty also revealed she wants a bigger family.

She said: "I have a dream version where I think maybe in four years I'll have two in a row really quickly.

"But when everyone's potty-trained and sleeping through the night, are you really going to go back? I'd like to work a bit now."
