Rosario Dawson adopts a 12-year-old girl

Rosario Dawson is a new mom.

The 35-year-old actress adopted a 12-year-old girl in October, a source tells Page Six.

Dawson, who was adopted by her stepfather Greg Dawson when she was 1, has been vocal in the past about her plans, telling Latina magazine in 2008 that she planned to adopt.

“That idea has stayed in the back of my head, but lately, I’ve been thinking about it more,” the “Top Five” star told the mag, explaining, “My mother and grandmother are extraordinary women, and they’re getting older. It struck me recently that one day I might be sitting around with my children, going, ‘Your grandma was an amazing woman; I really wish you could’ve known her.’ . . . Whatever time I have, I want it.”

Dawson, who has sat as an event chair for OrphanAid Africa, split with “Slumdog Millionaire” director Danny Boyle in 2013 and is single.

Her rep didn’t get back to us.
