Katie Price is reportedly planning to adopt a child from her boyfriend Leandro Penna's native Argentina.
The model-turned-businesswoman is said to have been touched by the struggles of poverty-stricken children in the South American country but is not yet ready to raise a child with her Latino partner, according to The People.
A close friend claimed: "She would try for a solo adoption because her relationship with Leandro is still in the early stages.
"On her last visit to Argentina earlier this month Katie saw at first hand the plight of some of the children over there and confided she would make enquiries about the country's adoption laws."
The source further claimed that Price has set her legal team the challenge of exploiting loopholes in the Argentinian adoption system, as UK citizens are currently prohibited from receiving custody of a child from the country.
They said: "She is aware of all the legal issues - but what Katie wants she usually gets. And having money to get the best lawyers helps. She'd give as much love to an adopted child as she would to her own."
A representative for Price has since told the Daily Mail that the reports are not true.
Price was reported to be considering adopting a child with ex-husband Alex Reid after two rounds of IVF treatment failed.
The 32-year-old has a disabled 8-year-old son, Harvey, with footballer Dwight Yorke and two children with first husband Peter Andre - Junior, 5, and Princess, 3.
