Katherine Heigl talks all about her decision to adopt in a sit-down interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, airing on Friday (September 11). Here�s what the 30-year-old Grey�s Anatomy actress shared about 10-month-old baby Naleigh (a mix of her mom and sister�s names, Nancy and Leigh):On Naleigh, who was born in Korea: �She was actually born the day before me in November which I thought was really serendipitous and just kind of like a sign. I realized just recently that I basically forfeited my birthday for the rest of my life.�
On how she got to adopt so quickly: �She is a special needs baby and because of that it all moved so much faster. They wanted to get her to us as quickly as possible.�
On her decision to adopt this way: �It�s been a big part of my life and my family. My sister is Korean and my parents adopted her back in the 70s and so I just always knew that this is something I wanted to do.�
On her husband, musician Josh Kelley: �I just wanted to make sure that I was marrying a guy who understands that this was going to have to happen. So about a year ago is when we said, �OK, let�s start the process,� and the process is intense. It�s different but it isn�t, do you know what I mean? It�s just as intense I�m sure to have a baby biologically because you�re going through the whole physical sort of thing of it.�
