Female Celebrities We Would Like To Be Adopted By

Ellen Tannam

Here at Her.ie, we all love our mams, absolutely no disrespect to them at all. However, sometimes we encounter a female celebrity who is so fantastic that our first reaction upon meeting them would be asking if they could adopt us.

Just think for a minute, what your life would be like if it was Cher making your Sunday dinner, or seeing Twink tending to the rockery out in the back garden.

Here are a few potential mams to get you started.

 

Enya

How magnificent would this be? First of all your family home would be a castle meaning you would have had the best primary school sleepovers in the history of the planet. Secondly, Enya is a lullaby MACHINE. Her music is basically all lullabies. You would never ever have a bad dream in your life. She’d probably pipe her music through all of the rooms in your house. I feel as though there would also be no shortage of posh candles in that house (castle).

A formidable woman, you would not want to mess with this lady. She would be very glamorous and would most likely be constantly outdoing you in terms of style. A lot of your male friends would admire her, but she would let them down gently. She would also make sure your self-esteem was Kanye-high at all times. I would hope she would divulge some RTÉ newsroom gossip after a couple of wines.

Cher

Cher would be consistently proud of you.

To be honest, I just want access to the woman’s wig collection.

Oprah

This is Oprah showing me off at my debs ball.

You would be getting free stuff out the wazoo. Every day she would pack your school lunch and include a positive affirmation in the form of a Post-It note. She would probably make you meditate every day before dinner, but it’s a small price to pay for having Mama O in your corner. Imagine how convincing she would be to your teachers that you were the most gifted person on the planet? The special treatment you would get. Unparallelled.

Lorelai Gilmore

Lorelai is the ultimate Cool Mom. She would let you drink coffee from Junior Infants on and always be ready with a pop-cultural reference. On the other hand, she would probably compete with you for romantic attention, let’s not lie. Lorelai would definitely let you and your friends pre-drink in her house because she’d ‘rather keep an eye on you all.’

Twink

Adele King, the woman, the legend. She would buy your cigarettes for you and if you were ever wronged by an ex, she would be the first to suggest teepeeing the person’s house. Twink is an absolute baller. She would not only let you have house parties but also actively participate in them. Think beer pong, with Prosecco.

Emma Thompson

There is something so comforting about the presence of Emma Thompson. I’m 23 years old and I want her to read me a bedtime story, and that’s the God’s honest truth.

Sabina Higgins

STRATFORD-UPON-AVON, UNITED KINGDOM - APRIL 11: Martha Wainwright, 6, presents flowers to Irish President Michael D. Higgins and his wife Sabina Higgins during a visit to the Royal Shakespeare Company on April 11, 2014 in Statford-upon-Avon, England. Ireland's Michael D. Higgins is making the first state visit by a president of the republic since it gained independence from neighbouring Britain. The visit comes three years after Queen Elizabeth II made a groundbreaking trip to the republic, which helped to heal deep-rooted unease and put British-Irish relations on a new footing.

Sabina Higgins would be the soundest mam EVER. You can just imagine her, encouraging you to pursue your dreams. “Sure Ellen, of course you should go for that Master’s degree. There’s nothing stopping you.’ I can sense that she’d let you have real Coke in the house sometimes too.
