Adoption Spotlight

Now that we are in process of adopting, we pay a little more attention to others that have adopted.  Maybe we can learn something from their experiences.  I also like to see what we have to look forward to.  Here's a good example:

You are probably familiar with the actress Katherine Heigl - former star of Grey's Anatomy and movies "Knocked Up" and "Life As We Know It".  What you may not know is that she and her husband singer/songwriter Josh Kelley adopted a Korean girl a few years ago.  They chose to adopt instead of having a child on their own.  Think about that...  It's something you don't hear very often, but an admirable choice to be sure.  To her the choice was only natural since adoption was already a big part of her life as she has an adopted Korean sister.

Their daughter's name is Naleigh.  You can read more about their story here: http://www.redbookmag.com/fun-contests/celebrity/katherine-heigl-baby

The experience of adopting Naleigh moved Dad Josh Kelley to write a song - "Naleigh Moon".  You can see the video below:
