Yesterday I reported that Katherine Heigl and her husband of almost two years Josh Kelley were planning on adopting a Korean baby.  Well, it’s been confirmed! Katherine stopped by The Ellen Degeneres Show, in an episode to air on Friday, and admitted that they are in fact adopting a ten month old baby girl!  They are adopting a special-needs girl from Korea. Katherine’s sister, Nancy, was also adopted from Korea.

“It is a little girl and she’ll be 10 months at the end this month. 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. Her name is Naleigh. Well, I am naming her after my mother and sister Nancy, Leigh. So we call her Naleigh.”

Heigl’s new daughter will arrive “real soon”.  ” I wanted to tell everybody so you don’t think I stole a Korean baby,” she said, laughing.
