Eva Longoria is refusing to let divorce stand in the way of her plans to adopt a child.

The Desperate Housewives actress, who split from her basketball star husband Tony Parker after finding out that he had been texting one of her girlfriends, wants to adopt a child from Haiti as a single mother.

Longoria, 35, who married Parker in 2007, had spoken about adopting before the break-up.

Now friends say that she plans to press on.

"Eva had her heart set on adopting a child from Haiti," says a source. "She so wants to be a mother. She wanted to adopt with Tony, but she's happy to go ahead as a single parent and is very excited after what's been a dark period."

Haiti has become very close to Longoria's heart since the earthquake in January. She has immersed herself in fundraising work to help the devastated island.
