Now that Blake Shelton is out of the picture, is Miranda Lambert ready to welcome a baby into her life?
A longtime friend of Lambert's reveals the newly single country songstress is on the verge of turning to the adoption option to make her lifelong baby dream come true!
"Miranda's aching to be a mom and it was Blake's refusal that ultimately tore them apart," the friend tells RadarOnline.com.
"Now she's her own master, and she's inspired by Charlize Theron and Sandra Bullock in a big way."
