In a heartfelt decision kept private for months, singer Adam Lambert has reportedly adopted a baby boy in Los Angeles — a deeply personal move he describes as “giving a childhood I never had.”

Sources close to the 42‑year‑old star say Lambert finalized the adoption quietly, choosing to keep the process out of the spotlight until he felt ready to share the news with close friends and family. “This wasn’t about headlines,” one insider shared. “It was about healing, about love, and about starting a new chapter with intention.”

Lambert, who has often spoken about the challenges of growing up different and misunderstood, is said to be “completely devoted” to his new role as a father. Friends reveal the baby boy, just under a year old, has already brought a softness and purpose to Lambert’s life that even music couldn’t provide. “I want him to grow up safe, seen, and celebrated — in a way I wasn’t,” Lambert reportedly told one confidant.

News of the adoption has sparked an outpouring of love and support from fans, many calling it “the most beautiful encore of his life.” One viral comment captured the sentiment: “Adam Lambert has given us music, courage, and authenticity — now he’s giving a child the gift of unconditional love.”
