  1. It is no longer a stranger to hear the name Angelina Jolie, she is one of the famous people not only in the field of art, but she is also famous for adopting children. Currently, she has six children, three biological and three adopted children from three different countries. Her adoption has helped the orphans have a new family, a new home, which not everyone can do.


    In 2002, Jolie adopted her first child, Maddox, from Cambodia with her ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton. Jolie adopted Zahara from Ethopia in 2005. Later that year it was rumored that Pitt planned on adopting both children, and in 2006, the children's last name was changed to Jolie-Pitt. A year later, Jolie adopted her son Pax as a single parent (Vietnam prohibits unmarried couples from adopting children). At the time of their August 2014 wedding, Pitt had legally adopted all three children. Now that the couple has split, custody of their six children (the couple has three biological kids, too) is reportedly one of the big reasons divorce negotiations have dragged on for so long.

    Sia

    Sia, the Australian singer-songwriter famed for “Chandelier” adopted two 18-year-old boys just last year amid the coronavirus outbreak. She disclosed to the paparazzi that she adopted the boys as they were aging out of the foster care system. Sia’s adoption of the teenagers is specifically significant as she adopted them at a time of crisis when the entire world was put under lockdown. The singer’s move to give home to two young boys is really heart-warming.


    She was very brave when making the decision to adopt a child, because she revealed to the public that the child was too old to be raised in the orphanage and was in the midst of an outbreak of disease that caused many difficulties. Her decision is very right and noble, because not everyone can dare to do this. That is why now she is not only a famous singer, but she is also famous for adopting children.

The actor told an interview of his children Bo, now 18, Lyn, 16, and David, 7: "Two of them had brain tumors and one had cancer sarcoma. Their chance of survival wasn't great, but I wanted to help…They make me want to be a better man. Love is a decision." He has become a passionate advocate of adoption. "I always thought if I adopted that I wouldn't have the same feeling [as I would] if they were genetically my own children. Nothing could be further from the truth."

After that, Caviezel and his wife, Kerri, decided to adopt another child, a healthy newborn baby girl. However, before the adoption took place, they met a five-year-old girl who also had a brain tumor. “The couple say they know the healthy baby will find a good home.” Jim Caviezel also feels himself completely changed since having a baby, he probably feels happy being a father.

  6. The Suits star and her husband, musician Josh Kelley famously adopted a child, they adopted their daughter Nancy Leigh Mi-Eun Kelley, from South Korea (the birth place of Heigl's adoptive sister) in 2009. She told Scholastic magazine, "I wanted my own family to resemble the one I came from, so I always knew I wanted to adopt from Korea. We have talked about having biological children as well, but we decided to adopt first. I just wanted to be a mom." Three years later, they adopted their daughter, Adalaide Marie Hope, domestically. After adopting two daughters, the actress gave birth to a son, Joshua Jr., last year.


    Baby Naleigh entered the Katherine couple's life quite unexpectedly and quickly turned their world completely upside down. That's not to say Josh and Katherine aren't mentally prepared to be parents. Originally, she was very close to her adopted sister. That's why, despite knowing that the international adoption procedure is complicated and confusing, the couple still decided to adopt a Korean orphan girl.


    Everything happened so quickly that it overwhelmed Katherine. The first day she hugged Naleigh, the world around her suddenly seemed to be covered with a mist and she could no longer see anything but the docile little body lying in her arms. She looked at her with large, sad eyes. She must be very tired after a long flight from Korea to the US. And she must be scared because she has to be away from the familiar faces who have taken care of her for the past few months. At that moment, Katherine just wanted to protect her with her life, give her warmth, comfort, satiety and love. The generous loving nature of a mother has made Katherine Heigl the happiest mother.
