Blake Lively and hubby Ryan Reynolds are one of the most charitable couples in Hollywood, and now the big-hearted duo is ready to take the next step by adopting a baby in need, a source tells OK!.
The Gossip Girl alum, 33, and the Deadpool star, 44, who share daughters James, 6, Inez, 4, and 16-month-old Betty, have donated millions of dollars to organizations working to protect the rights of immigrant children separated from their families and awaiting deportation.
"Day by day, they've been warming up to the idea of providing an orphan with a forever home," shares the source, who notes the idea of expanding their brood is nothing new.
