Eva Longoria is refusing to let divorce stand in the way of her plans to adopt a child.

The Desperate Housewives actress, who split from her basketball star husband Tony Parker after finding out that he had been texting one of her girlfriends, wants to adopt a child from Haiti as a single mother. Eva, 35, who married Parker in 2007, had spoken about adopting before the break-up.

Now friends say that she plans to press on – and follow the example of Sandra Bullock.The Hollywood star divorced her cheating husband Jesse James but still continued the process of adopting a baby boy from New Orleans as a single mother. ‘Eva had her heart set on adopting a child from Haiti,’ says a source. ‘She so wants to be a mother. She wanted to adopt with Tony, but she’s happy to go ahead as a single parent and is very excited after what’s been a dark period.’

Haiti has become very close to Eva’s heart since the earthquake in January. She has immersed herself in fundraising work to help the devastated island. In the past Eva has indicated that the sick Latino children she meets in her work with the California-based charity Padres Contra El Cáncer had inspired her to adopt. ‘Every time I work with kids from Padres, my heart explodes with happiness and joy. They’re so inspiring,’ she said. ‘I could only wish to have children as strong.’
