He had such an influence on me - I could love something freely for the first time. I felt an urgency. "I wanted to write about the war, climate change, what I thought about love. I wasn't worried what people would think of me."The 46-year-old singer, who split from champion cyclist Lance Armstrong shortly before she was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, decided on adoption following her relationship and health heartbreak.Sheryl added: "I began the adoption process right after I finished my radiation treatment. I have always felt like I was meant to be a mom. I used to think you need a mom and dad to start a family."I don't think the idea of adopting or using a sperm donor should ever feel like a consolation prize. I am so glad I have this little guy. I have a strong family unit now, and he's going to grow up with love."(C) BANG Media International
