Sheryl Crow is the latest celebrity to adopt a child.

The 45-year-old singer has adopted a 2-week boy, she announced on her website.

The child was given the first name Wyatt, after Crow's father, and the middle name Steven, after both her younger brother Steven Crow and manager Steven 'Scooter' Weintraub.

"We are enjoying some very private family time," Crow wrote.

The singer's representative gave no other details except that the child was born in the U.S.

The announcement came after Crow wrapped up a Stop Global Warming college tour - where she famously requested the public to limit their toilet paper use in any one sitting.

Now, her representative tells PEOPLE website: "She's just going to take some time off to be a mom."

The adoption caps an emotional stretch for Crow. She split with Lance Armstrong in February 2006 and was diagnosed with breast cancer that same month. She has since successfully completed treatment.
