EXCLUSIVE: HEIGL TO ADOPT KOREAN TOT

description

The ENQUIRER exclusively reports Katherine Heigl and singer hubby Josh Kelley are adopting.

The 29-year-old Grey’s Anatomy Emmy-winning actress decided she didn’t want to get Knocked Up – and the couple expects to start their family with a child from Korea within a year, sources say.

Welcoming a baby from Korea holds special meaning for Katherine because her older sister Meg was adopted from that country.

"Meg has had a profound impact on Katherine’s life, which is why she and Josh are trying to adopt a Korean child," a friend close to the couple revealed to The ENQUIRER.

"They’ve chosen an adoption agency and have started filing the necessary paperwork. They haven’t gone public with the news yet because they want to make sure there are no problems before they make an announcement."

The couple – who met in 2005 and tied the knot last December – debated for months whether to have a biological child or adopt, said the source.

"They finally decided adoption is the best option for them right now. Katherine’s got several movie projects in the pipeline and a pregnancy would bring her career to a halt for a while," said the friend "Besides, she still has plenty of time to have her own children if she chooses."

"I’ve always planned to adopt," the 27 Dresses star said. "I’m done with the whole idea of having my own children. It doesn’t seem like any fun. I don’t think it’s necessary to go through all of that."
