The rules were overlooked because Katherine Heigl is WEALTHY.

I’m a Korean adoptee, and I DO NOT approve of Katherine Heigl’s decision to adopt.

I do think celeb had a little to do with it honestly (marriage requirement), since little girls are much easier to place without major medical needs, but who knows. As far as expedited because of needs; Korea does not do that. There care is top notch and on par with the US. Getting a referral is fast, not the wait to travel. And you don’t have to be a celeb to have a quick referral if you meet the requirements. Our first was 12 months start to finish, 2nd was 6 months start to finish and the 3rd was 2 1/2 months (special circumstances). And yes, this is Korea. Mine are waiting children (special needs I don’t care for), but even they were fairly minor in the scheme of life.

Happy for them all regardless. Life works out the way it’s supposed to.

Katherine Heigl never really struck me as the “motherly” type but I certainly wish her and her husband the best of luck with this new addition to their family. God Bless!

Kelly B-Stop trying to find fault. Baby Nayleigh has special needs and this is most likely the reason.Read some of the other posts,with posts from people who have adopted from these countries.

Kelly B- It could be because they agreed to adopt a child with special needs.

This is fantastic for thier family. However, How is this possible when the law for an adoption from Korea isn’t possible until 3 years of marriage??? The rules are listed on the government webiste uscis.gov under Korea. How were these rules overlooked??

Sarah K.- Maybe, but it seems kind of odd that Katherine would have thrown a baby shower for herself. From what I’ve read, throwing yourself a baby shower is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) no-nos of shower ettiqute!

This is sorta off topic but, I wonder if that baby shower Katherine threw for Ellen barely two weeks ago was actually a joint baby shower for the both of them since they were both expecting baby girls very soon. Just a thought

Megan -there have been reports on other web sites and pictures of TR and Ellen coming to her house to meet Naleigh.
Of course Katherine and Josh haven’t confirmed it, but it makes sense that they would not announce until the they were sure that and when tehy could pick her up.
