Katherine Heigl, the Grey’s Anatomy star, has announced she’s expecting a baby…. from South Korea.  She’s begun the paperwork for adopting a 10 month old South Korean baby.  What you may not know about Katherine Heigl is that her own sister Meg is an adoptee from South Korea.  Of course she has a heart for Koreans!

Her full name is Nayleigh and her nickname will be Leigh, RadarOnline.com learned. The baby is approximately 10 months old.

“She is thrilled,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com. “She and Josh are so happy.”

The idea of adoption is nothing new for the actress, as she told USA Today two years that it’s something she’s “always planned.”

“I’m done with the whole idea of having my own children,” Heigl said.

“[It] doesn’t seem like any fun. I don’t think it’s necessary to go through all of that.”

What you also may not know is that there are approximately 200,000 Korean adoptees worldwide and about 100,000 reside in the U.S.  South Korea has one of the more prominent adoption systems in the world.  I once visited an orphanage in South Korea back in the 80s, and my heart was really broken by seeing all those kids.  Good for Katherine!
