When Kim Kardashian gave up the fairy tale of living happily ever after with Kris Humphries, she didn't give up her dream of becoming a mother. Today Kim, 31, has begun the process of adopting a baby as a single mother. "Kim has always been very maternal," an insider says. "Of the three sisters, she's the one who's been saying that she's ready for kids the longest."
