London, July 20 (ANI): Sheryl Crow has slammed critics who said that she has adopted sons only to promote her music career.

The All I Wanna Do hitmaker adopted son Wyatt in 2007 and brought home his brother, Levi, last month (Jun10).

Online critics have suggested that the singer/songwriter has used the adoptions to gain publicity and promote her new records.

But the singer has blasted the suggestions, insisting that her latest adoption process was a lengthy and testing one.

“I don’t usually read what people blog about me but I’ve read some beautiful things about me and adoption and some hateful things. I think people don’t understand: it’s not like you can go to some outlet and pick up a baby because you’ve got a record to promote,” the Daily Express quoted her as telling You magazine.

“An adoptive mother goes through more hoops than those people who thoughtlessly become pregnant.

“I had about 10 adoptions fall through last year, so there was a real sense of relief when he (Levi) was mine. It’s a long process and it’s fraught with uncertainty. Another person is carrying a baby and when that baby finally arrives their feelings may have changed,” she added. (ANI)
