Katherine Heigl Chooses Movies Over Daughter
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies,
Self Emmy-submitter Katherine Heigl says it’s difficult being a working mother.
The 31-year-old actress, who is married to Josh Kelley, found it hard to leave her adopted daughter, 18-month-old Naleigh, to go off and shoot her latest film Killers, which also stars Ashton Kutcher.
“It’s difficult but it’s like any working mom I think you have to make some compromises. It’s easier said than done, but I knew that I wanted to keep working, I love what I do but it’s really hard to leave her - I feel horrible,” Katherine said at the London premiere of her film.
But when quizzed on whether she would like to add to her brood and adopt again, she nodded and said, “I hope to, yes.”
Katherine also explained why she plans to stick to acting and never attempt to direct a big screen blockbuster: “I’m very grateful for the opportunity to produce but as far as directing - I can’t imagine I’d ever do that. Because even at this stage, 20 years into it, I still don’t really understand how that works and how all that part happens.”

Baby Naleigh Recovering From Heart Surgery
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies,
New mom Katherine Heigl can sleep a little easier, now knowing that her daughter is recovering well following heart surgery.
The actress and husband Josh Kelley adopted 17-month-old Naleigh from Korea last September and the tot recently went to the operating table to repair a congenital heart problem, but the little girl is now making good progress.
“Her heart is 100 per cent fine now. She has a scar, so she won’t be wearing bikinis, which is fine by us.”
The former Grey’s Anatomy star also revealed how the adoption process was sped up for her and Josh because they were willing to have a child with health problems. She told Harper’s Bazaar, “A lot of children don’t find forever homes because they’re on that special-needs list, even if it’s because of something as simple as her mother smoked cigarettes for a month, not knowing she was pregnant. That’s not so huge that you couldn’t handle it.”
Katherine is enjoying every moment of motherhood and is even willing to forgo some romantic time with Josh do that Naleigh has everything she needs: “If parent time interferes with sexy time, that’s that. Now it’s time to re-evaluate and grow up. Enough with the drama.”
Josh Kelley Gushes Over Adopted Baby

Katherine Heigl‘s husband thinks that their adopted baby is “awesome.” At least now we can rest assured that they don’t plan on returning her.
Musician Josh Kelley gushed about Nancy Leigh, a 10-month-old Korean girl with special needs he and Katherine adopted earlier this month, during a concert on Ohio on Friday night.
On the verge of tears, Josh shouted, “We adopted a baby from Korea, me and my girl, and she’s awesome, dude! This girl is the bomb!”
Earlier in the week, Josh sung a song he wrote about the baby—nicknamed ‘Naleigh’—at a performance at Miami University. It included the lines, “Just to see you in mommy’s arms is all I need.”
Katherine, 30, was “thrilled” to welcome Nancy into her home, revealing that she has wanted to adopt a Korean baby since she was a child: “It’s been a big part of my life and my family. My sister is Korean and my parents adopted her back in the 1970s and so I just always knew that this is something I wanted to do. I just wanted to make sure that I was marrying a guy who understands that this was going to have to happen. Not everybody is down with that, not everybody thinks that.”
