Does anyone know where Ava was adopted from? Just curious.

She was adopted from Australia. Her birth family is just of Asian descent. Not sure of specifics.

According to a couple of interviews Hugh gave when Ava was a wee one, Ava was born in north Texas, USA, not Australia. He did not, however, indicate her heritage.

She knows more than we do, listen to her! Here’s a quote which indicates she wasn’t born in Australia (Hugh said this when the adoption was finalized)

“We did the official adoption last week in her home county so we went there and we went to this little courthouse and the judge was so happy because he spends his day with divorces and things like that, so to have an adoption is a happy occasion. We, of course, cried the entire time and Ava just flirted with the judge, picked up his gavel and started eating it.”
