According to The Sunday Mirror  singer Amy Winehouse was in the process of  ‘adopting’ a 10-year-old St Lucian girl before she died suddenly last Saturday.

The troubled singer had started the process of becoming a mum to 10-year-old Dannika Augustine, who she met on the idyllic Caribbean island.

Amy had booked her ticket to visit the schoolgirl next week. The child’s grandmother revealed the singer had already hired lawyers for the adoption, but her plans were cut short by her sudden death last week aged just 27.

Rest In Peace Amy Winehouse.
