SINGLE lady Jennifer Aniston has made a secret visit to a Mexican orphanage, it has been claimed.

The former Friends star, 40, is desperate to become a mom and sees adopting as her only option, according to Britain’s Now magazine.

“This is what she’s always wanted, a baby, and now it’s about to come true,” a source said.

“She won’t let anything get in the way of her dream.”

Aniston will apparently adopt from the destitute Casa Hogar Sion orphanage, a baby refuge that shares a special place in her heart — and ex-husband Brad Pitt’s.

“Jen has been plowing money into the orphanage for years, just as her ex Brad has, and to adopt a baby from there makes perfect sense,” the source adds. “She and Brad will never be — she knows that — but this bond through the baby will live on, no matter what.”

The orphanage’s owner, Carmen Gonzalez, confirmed Aniston’s visit, saying, “She got on with all the children, but spent most of her time with the babies. She loved them. She was in the nursery for a long time, playing with them and cuddling them.”
