Spotted: Katherine Heigl and Adalaide Step Out

@Sarah, I would fall over too but some women are so used to wearing them that they can literally run in them.

She looks like a beautiful baby and I hope they are all very happy.

i guess she doesn’t want to ruin her figure

awwww

@Kristi, you took the words right out of my mouth!! Either way, it’s nobody’s business!

@kristi The girl is just giving her opinion and no she doesn’t have fertility issues , her mom adopted and she’s following in her footsteps and also her mother had biological kids…. but she said she doesn’t want go through labor , so there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so SICK of seeing posts like yours, sharon! You have no idea whether she has infertility issues, chooses to adopt for personal reason (her sister is adopted, for instance) or she just thinks there are lots of children already here, so why the burning “ego trip” to have a biological child!

No one understood why we adopted the first time, but I had been through infertility for several years and finally just decided I didn’t have such an over-inflated ego about our particular genes that I had to drive myself crazy trying to “repeat” one of us! I love children, so i had the ability to love bio, adopted or foster children Too bad you can only love a baby you had yourself; that makes you the center of the universe, now doesn’t it? Keep you hate to yourself!

Everyone doesn’t “ruin their body” having a baby anyway, for pity’s sake! I was back in my regular jeans 5 days after having either bio child, and so were many of my friends, and I wore a 4!! Good grief, the hate on any thread on “Babies” is just horrendous!

There is nothing wrong with adoption, but it seems to be spreading like wildflowers in the celebrity world. What is it…they don’t want to try to have their own children..today’s in thing is to adopt?

There are so many children without loving parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers a home! Thank God for Hollywood and those who have the financial means and heart to want to provide, love, and guide children who otherwise would not have family. I am so glad its a in thing to adopt…hopefully more and more people will give loving homes to children who need a family!!!

I can’t believe people think the only reason women adopt children is because they don’t want to ruin their figure. How about not being able to conceive? Wanting to help children who would otherwise not have a home? Sure, you may get the rare woman who really doesn’t want to ruin her figure but that is NOT the majority of women, famous or not.

I love that she is adopting. She has a lot of love and resources to share with needy kids. There are a lot of kids that need loving families. Kudos to her. #redeemingthenameSharon

what a cute name!!!!

I’ve seen several interviews with Katherine Heigl and read many articles recently where she has said that adoption meant alot to her because of her sister obviously but that they also talked about biological children. She has said that it hasn’t been ruled out at all but that she believes in adoption.

I think it’s great that these celebrities that have so much can help provide a life that these babies may not have had if they had stayed in the system.

Love her and her husband and their choice to adopt…love everyones choice to adopt. I have a biological child and can have more and I would still adopt if I had the money for sure.

@Sharon,
Katherine Heigl has never said she doesn’t want to go through labor. Just this season on a number of different talk shows, she spoke of her and Josh adding to their family, and when asked about adoption or biological children she said that they hoped to adopt at least one more time and have at least one biological child as well. To confirm this find her interview from this season on the Ellen DeGeneres show – she speaks very frankly about her & Josh’s wish to adopt and have biological children of their own.

And on another side note – I think Adalaide Marie Hope is a beautiful baby girl, who will be MUCH loved by her new family. Best of luck in the years to come to the Heigl/Kelley family!!!

What amazing people Katherine & her super cute husband are … have you watched Josh’s video / song that he made for Naleigh? It’s a thing of beauty .. Congrats to them!!! As long as they are happy & good parents why would anybody care how their family is created??

Mel – Josh’s family is honored in both girls’ names. They both have his last name. Done.

Ecl-good point. I just don’t agree with it..LOL

This family is amazing and so full of love, it seems to me! What an adorable baby girl (what we can see of her, lol), and love her name, and the meaning it has to them. Hope they post some pictures soon!

Comments like Sharon’s irritate the ever living snot out of me. Katherine has repeatedly said that she and Josh chose to adopt because Katherine’s own sister is adopted. She advocated for adoption long before she even married, for crying out loud!

And let’s face it… if she had a few biological children, some people would complain that she brought another child into the world instead of just giving an already existing child a home. So when it comes to how celebrities choose to expand their families, it’s pretty much lose-lose for them. Downright sad.

@Donna, why are domestic adoptions better than foreign adoptions? Does a child born somewhere beyond our man-made borders deserve love more than another? A child is a child is a child, no matter the color of their skin or the country of their birth. Every child without a family deserves one and feels the same loneliness and sadness without one equally.

Grats thats shes adopted, I don’t have anything against her choosing adoption over biological babies or anything, besides she said shes not adverse to having babies herself anyways but one thing did Josh get any say in their naming at all because the first, Nancy Leigh, is named after Katherine’s mum and sister and this one is named after her great granny, her middle name, surely Josh has a special family name he’d like to include? Just saying.

Katherine has mentioned quite a few times, that her sister was adopted.

So, she felt a need to adopt.

I believe she said that they will have a biological child, further down the track.

Why would a person who can have children and she said she can,ever want someone elses??Sorry it’s not the same feeling.Not to mention how do white people seem to think that they can parent black children??Talk to black children raised by whites and see how they felt growing up.

God Bless Katherine and Josh! They’ve brought home two very lucky little girls who, if otherwise, may not have had a chance. The reason you are made aware of celebrity adoption is because those folks spend their days under the eye of a telescope, case in point is this blog and how some of you are picking the named subjects choices apart. I’m adopted and can tell you, it’s quite expensive. My parents had to refinance their home and dip majorily into their savings on classes and legal aid just to bring me home so thank God that Katherine and Josh are spending their money bettering the lives of children born into their hearts versus material things. Also, the comment about celebrities adopting “children of color”, be aware that the majority of children wanted are WHITE BABIES which leaves those “children of color” less fortunate. The statistics on non-white children being adopted are staggeringly low. Please keep that in mind before you rip them apart for adopting the blessed children they have and know that any reason that she’s has for adopting has enhanced those two little girls and any additional children that may follow.

After seeing how the liberal Hollywood crowd gushes over the moron in the White House I am so happy they are NOT reproducing. We do not want more people like them influencing future political races. Why in the world do they give these poor kids such awful names? Adalaide ? Naleigh?

Get them counselors now.

“Steps Out” – she’s got to get attention in one form or another.

I applaud her and her hubby for adopting. And it’s domestic adoption, which means they adopted here, not overseas. Wish more people would adopt. Good for them. Hope they’re all very happy. The baby is beautiful.

Right, Michelle? How dare she take her daughter to the doctor! What kind of mother is she!?!?

NO DUMB AZZ Sharon… She said recently that she wanted to adopt FIRST before having biological children… NOTHING about NOT WANTING TO GO THROUGH LABOR….#DayumIdiotAzzTroll…. OAN: Cute baby… And blessings to her family

I doubt you “earned” them, Patrick. Just like Katherine didn’t “buy” them.

meghan- As a fellow five foot gal, I’m sorry your grandmother had height insecurities. There’s nothing wrong with being short, and I embrace my height. Not only is it part of who I am, but at times it actually comes in handy (for example, I can see the last few cans of soup or whatever hiding at the back of the lower shelves at the grocery store without having to bend over or squat down.)!

I wish more short people could feel comfortable in their skin!

pu- Thankfully not everyone feels the same way about adoption that you do. And last time checked, neither of Katherine’s daughters is black. Naleigh is Asian and Adalaide appears to be caucasian.

Patrick Douglass, adoption is not about buying babies. All these babies would be sitting in orphanages or in foster care if it weren’t for parents willing to go through the trials of the adoption process. for some, adoption is their only choice for having children and they shouldn’t have to read an ignorant comment like yours saying their children were “bought”. some people cannot conceive and have undergone pain in the process of trying to become parents. good for you that you have children and you and your partner have the ability to naturally conceive. some couples don’t have that and seek adoption. some couples choose to try to give a home to a child who otherwise wouldn’t have one and they are no less parents than you.

i think Katherine is kinda a beeyatch, but honestly, seeing her open her home to these two children makes me support her career that much more…

and honestly, id rather people adopt kids, than these fashionable IVF twins everyone is LITERALLY buying (hay marc & jen, brad & angie, and nick and mariah) or couples in their 40s -60’s having brand new families that they’re too damn old to do anything with (i see u john and kelly, celine and rene)…

i’m more concerned w/ if Katherine and her inflated sense of importance is taking the proper responsibility to put people in Naleigh and Adelaide’s lives who look like them. It is important to have good and loving families, but it is also important that when your family doesn’t look like you or has a different background than you, it is SO important that there are people in your life who do. I saw a picture of Adelaide on a magazine, and she looks as though she is biracial, so i pray they keep positive people of Asian descent and of color in their personal lives (in a perfect world, our friend circle woud already be colorful so there would be no need to make a concerted effort to do this, but… a perfect world it is not)

Eph, I would hope that Katherine’s sister would qualify as “someone who looks like” Naleigh and a “positive people of Asian descent”, seeing that it was her being adopted from Korea that inspired Katherine to adopt in the first place. At least you don’t have to worry about Naleigh!
