Update: Elton John Changes His Mind About Fatherhood

Update: According to a Ukrainian family minister, 14-month-old Lev will not be going home with Elton John and David Furnish. People reports that Ukranian adoption laws prohibit same sex couples and unmarried couples from adopting, and also stipulate that adoptive parents be no more than 45 years older than the child. The longtime couple's only hope would be a presidential dispensation - were it granted, they would also be required to adopt Lev's brother.

David and Elton are pictured here with little Lev at a news conference held at the orphanage.

It sounds like singer Elton John has had a change of heart about fatherhood.

Earlier this year the Tiny Dancer singer and his longtime partner David Furnish said that kids weren't in their plans, with David telling People, “I don’t think our lives are suited to raising children. We’re busy flying places all the time. Elton is not really going to come off the road. We don’t want to put the raising of children into the hands of nannies and housekeepers. We want to be active parents. We have godchildren [and] kids that we support in Africa, so we’re fine."

However, Elton says he's changed his mind after a visit to the Ukraine with the AIDS Foundation this weekend, where he and David met a 14-month-old boy who was left an orphan after both his parents died of the disease.

"Having seen Lev today, I would love to adopt him," E! quotes the 62-year-old Grammy-winner as saying. "I don't know how we do that but he has stolen my heart. And he has stolen David's heart and it would be wonderful if we can have a home. I've changed my mind today."
