Actress Katherine Heigl and her husband Josh Kelly are adopting a 10-month-old baby from Korea. On the Ellen DeGeneres show yesterday, Katherine stated:
“It’s been a big part of my life and my family. My sister is Korean and my parents adopted her back in the 70s and so I just always knew that this is something I wanted to do…I just wanted to make sure that I was marrying a guy who understands that this was going to have to happen. So about a year ago is when we said, ‘OK, let’s start the process,’ and the process is intense. It’s different but it isn’t, do you know what I mean? It’s just as intense I’m sure to have a baby biologically because you’re going through the whole physical sort of thing of it.”
This was also the reason Katherine stopped smoking…whatever it takes, so good for her! It makes me wonder why the couple doesn’t try for a biological child. Regardless, it’s great to follow your desires and have a supportive husband. As of right now, Kat and Josh have only seen the baby girl in photographs and have chosen the name Naleigh, a mix of her mother and sister’s names (Nancy & Leigh).
Congratulations Kat and Josh – we can’t wait to see your family all together!
