Katherine Heigl to Adopt Korean Baby.

Posted on 18. Oct, 2008 by CSS in Adoption, Entertainment, babies

Katherine Heigl and her singer hubby Josh Kelley are adopting a baby, the Enquirer has learned exclusively.

The 29-year-old Emmy-winning actress decided she didn’t want to get “Knocked Up” – and the couple expects to start their family with a child from Korea within a year, sources say.

Welcoming a baby from Korea holds special meaning for Katherine because her older sister Meg was adopted from that country.

“Meg has had a profound impact on Katherine’s life, which is why she and Josh are trying to adopt a Korean child,” a friend close to the couple revealed to The Enquirer.

“They’ve chosen an adoption agency and have started filing the necessary paperwork. They haven’t gone public with the news yet because they want to make sure there are no problems before they make an announcement.”

We all Know the National Enquirer is not always on point but they havehad recent peaks in credibility with there story about Jamie Lynn Spears… The fact that Katherine has an adopted sister from Korea leads me to believe there is alot of truth in this piece- I think that it’s fantastic, alot of people are going to be beating her down for assuming that the only reason for her wanting to adopt is because she doesn’t want to mess with her career-(that reasoning is already all over the gossip blogs) personally I think anytime anyone decides to adopt its a wonderful choice and shouldn’t be taken lightly or criticized… just my two cents!
