Scarlett Johansson wants to adopt a child.'The Nanny Diaries' star can't wait to settle down and start a family and is planning to open her home to an underprivileged child.Scarlett told USA Today newspaper: "I would love to have kids. I haven't really figured it out yet. I can see having a kid or two. And I would like to adopt children. I think I'm tender with children. I got along really well with them. They make me feel young, like you're nine-years-old again." The blonde star also revealed she is set to travel to Iraq to visit US servicemen later this year.She said: "I get letters from soldiers my age and younger. I wanted to go to Iraq in October, but it may be a little later."I don't know if I will sing for them. I'll probably just take to the stage and ooze sex appeal and hang around."Scarlett, who has been compared to Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe by director Woody Allen, often feels she was born in the wrong decade.
