Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley adopt second childKatherine Heigl and Josh Kelley's 3-year-old daughter Naleigh is now a big sister: The couple has adopted a second child, a rep for the actress tells CNN. No other details were available about their latest addition, but the 33-year-old actress hinted that she was on the road to adoption again in an earlier interview with Parent & Child magazine. She and her husband adopted Naleigh from South Korea in 2009, and had actually talked about adoption even before they planned to marry, she revealed.
"My sister Meg is Korean, and my parents adopted her three years before I was born. I wanted my own family to resemble the one I came from," the actress said. "My mother had biological children and an adopted child and said it made absolutely no difference. They're yours. You love them the moment they're put into your arms." Heigl and Kelley have "talked about having biological children," she continued, "but we decided to adopt first. I just wanted to be a mom. So however we did that, it's fine with me. I'd like to adopt again." And that she did. Congrats to the couple!

I think it's wonderful that she adopted a child of another race. It's so sad that when people adopt a child that is not of the same race, people make crude and nasty comments (example: Oh well, at least they didn't adopt a black one or its good until the adopted kids are from africa). There are so many children in this world who need loving parents and a home. Why do people insist on making hurtful comments when someone else does something good and kind that will benefit that person? May God bless Katherine and Josh for giving these children loving parents and a home.
What's the matter? Don't they like making babies of their own race? Oh well, at least they didn't adopt a black one. lol
Yes, thank God!
Good for her! People who adopt are heroes. At least she didn't do the IVF route and end up with triplets. Who would want to do that anyhow? They're now finding out IVF causes cancer down the road.
yeah its good until the adopted kids are from africa...then everybody goes gaga!
Nice one Mary Jane. That was beautiful.
Heigl is one ugly talentless cnt
Jealous much!!!!!
Thats rude Im sure u dont look no where as good as she does. Jealousy is a ugly thing. I bet you parents negelected to teach you if you have nothing nice to say keep your mouth shut.
Hey, I don't think you're jealous. I think you're just an idiot!
Great, another orphan unfairly mormonized.
Mr. difficult...definitely Mr. ignorant. Ms. Heigl does not practice mormonism and hasn't for much of her life. Get your facts straight before you start spitting out nonsense.
Much happiness!
As a mother of four who also 'always knew' I would adopt, I offer hearty congrats to Katherine & Josh! I love stories where adoption is not a 'second choice,' but an enthusiastic first choice!

Good for them! Why have children when there are already so many children in the world who need good parents?
Perhaps for reasons your parents chose to have you; ever think of that?
