Hard-charging CNN anchorman Anderson Cooper was so moved by the suffering from the earthquake in Haiti, he's decided to adopt a Haitian orphan, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.

The silver-haired journalist and his hunky boyfriend, Ben Maisani, plan to raise the child together in their recently purchased home, a former firehouse they're renovating in New York's West Village, pals say.

"The death and destruction in Haiti made Anderson realize what's really important. He and Ben have decided to become dads," a longtime friend told The ENQUIRER.

"Ben has been the best thing that's ever happened to Anderson. They both feel they're ready for a baby."

Anderson, 42, flew to the devastated country shortly after the quake struck on Jan. 12.

Meanwhile, back in New York, 37-year-old club owner Ben has been overseeing renovations on the historic firehouse Anderson recently bought, the friend said.

And Anderson has been so affected by the devastation in Haiti that he's begun arrangements to adopt one of the country's orphans.

Although fatherhood may curtail some of Anderson's globe-trotting, he's not planning to give up his work anytime soon.

"It just means once they get their son, he won't jump on a plane for every story," said the friend.

"Plus Ben is totally capable of keeping things under control when Anderson is away."

I very much object to this child being used as a trophy the way lard ashed Rosie uses her “kids” to prove men are not necessary.

As much as I disagree with the lifestyle he has chosen, I give him props for the earthquake coverage he provided. He was there early on and saw and smelled misery most of us can’t even comprehend. I’m sure seeing first hand the misery and suffering those children were enduring tugged at his heart strings. Having watched a lot of his coverage on CNN, I believe it is a sincere gesture.

Oh, they need help absolutely, doesn’t really matter where it comes from, given the alternative.

Have you ever been in a gas station restroom?

I didn’t even know Cooper was a pole-smoker.

Will the baby be dressed in leather diapers and a c*$k ring?

[Mich Patriot]

Jeez, what a pincushion!

Two guys renovating a former NYC firehouse is as gay as it gets....the Haitian orphan gives them street credibility I guess.

What about the orphans in America. Oh I forgor Oprah doesn’t like them.

[sten]

well... all the news channels have moved to putting women in anchor positions.

[West Texas Chuck]

Yeah, heck, if we could get Madonna, Brangelina and Cooper all hooked up they could save the entire third world’s population of orphan kids.

[ronniesgal]

I suspect any white ones would be left to fend for themselves.
