Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley - Katherine Heigl and husband, Josh Kelley, have recently shared that they are ready to start the adoption process again. The couple adopted their daughter, Naleigh, about three years ago from Korea. Heigl has also shared that she struggled a bit bonding with their daughter, while her husband and Naleigh clicked right away. Through an interview with Scholastic Parent & Child magazine she acknowledged the importance of being prepared to parent an adopted child and how the process of forming attachments take time, building trust takes time. I'm so glad to hear a celebrity opening talk about the bonding process that goes along with adopting a child and that parenting a child that is not biologically your own is different. Relationships take time to build.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt -Adopting more children is still an open topic within the Jolie-Pitt home. In an interview with the The Hollywood Reporter, Pitt stated that they are open to more children, but nothing is in the works at this time as they currently have a balance within their home. He also stated that if they met someone who needed them and they felt that they could help, they would be open to adopting again. I like how the focus seems to be on the child and what Jolie and Pitt could do to offer help, rather than on their own wants and needs. That's the way it should be, in a perfect world.
