“I’m done,” she tells the new issue of Entertainment Weekly.  “We just finalized our agreement,” continues Heigl, 31, who played Dr. Izzie Stevens on the ABC medical drama for six seasons. “Everyone had been working really hard to find an amicable and gracious way of letting go and moving on. It’s sad but it’s what I wanted.”

She says she wants more time to focus on her 16-month-old daughter Naleigh, whom she adopted from South Korea with husband Josh Kelley last September.

“I started a family and it changed everything for me,” says Heigl, who took a three-month leave after welcoming her baby girl. “It changed my desire to work full-time.”

Katherine Heigl is on maternity leave from her TV show “Grey’s Anatomy” so she can spend quality time with her newly adopted baby girl, Naleigh.  Mrs. Heigl is actually celebrating her daughter’s birthday today, which is a day before her own birthday.

“She was actually born the day before me in November, which I thought was really serendipitous and just kind of like a sign.”

Katherine Heigl, who is the second highest earning actress on primetime TV, was out and about recently with her newly adopted daughter from Korea – Naleigh Kelly.   She happens to be a special needs baby and it’s great that Katherine Heigl looked to adoption to start her family.  These are the latest pictures of Katherine and Naleigh out and about.

We all love the fact that Katherine Heigl adopted a baby girl from South Korea.  But did you know that her baby Naleigh actually had heart surgery.  Katherine opened up about her newly adopted baby.

“She had two holes in her heart when she was born, so she had open-heart surgery when she was 3 months old… Naleigh’s definitely getting stronger, so much so that she’s crawling and starting to pull herself up.”

“We’ll add to our family eventually. Naleigh’s so good, though, that our next kid is probably going to be a little hellion.”

Oh btw, did you know Katherine’s sister is adopted from Korea.
