"I think I'm more likely to adopt from one of the countries I’ve visited - Ethiopia or South Africa - than the western world."
The actress has previously spoken publicly about her reticence to start a family.
In November 2013, following her mum's death, Riley said, according to the Mirror: "I can’t see myself ever becoming a mum.
