Katherine Heigl & Josh Kelley | Naleigh & Adelaide
A decade and two years ago, Katherine Heigl and her husband Josh Kelley took Naleigh under their care. Born in South Korea, she was soon followed by the adoption of her sister Adelaide in 2012. “Josh and I started talking about it before we were even engaged. My sister Meg is Korean, and my parents adopted her three years before I was born,” Heigl shared to Scholastic.
Heigl explained that she wanted her own family to resemble the one she came from, so she always knew she wanted to adopt from Korea. The move may be seen a series of investments in preserving their intercultural identity as a family. Furthermore, the actress and her husband also have a biological son named Joshua Jr. who was born in 2017. Heigl can be considered as among the list of Hollywood stars that celebrate what it takes to contain multitudes.
