Yesterday afternoon, Sushmita Sen was seen shopping at an international baby wear brand outlet at a well-known store in Linking Road, Bandra. She was accompanied by her Woman Friday Neelam, who she refers to as her sister. Sush was in blue jeans and grey tee and was seen trying out a baby sling carrier. Both were doing a survey of all the baby stuff on display.



This lends credence to a very strong buzz that the actress is looking for a sibling for her daughter Renee u2014 has she already found one? The reclusive Sush has always wanted to be a mommy for the second time (by adopting another child). More importantly, to provide company to Renee.

Process in motion
It is reliably learnt that last week the actress visited an adoption centre with her staff and doctor to select a new bundle of joy. A source says, "She became particularly fond of a newborn but then it was found that the baby was too young."

Over two years ago, there was buzz that she was thinking of adopting another girl child.
The source adds, "Sush wants to complete her family with another child, preferably female. She has already made inquiries and begun visiting such centres. The actress is keen that she adopts another baby soon."
The unconventional actress who has always lived life on her own terms became a single mom in 2000 when she adopted Renee.

Sushmita remained unavailable for comment.
