Heigl & Kelley Finalise Adoption

Actress KATHERINE HEIGL and her musician husband JOSH KELLEY have finalised their adoption of a 10-month-old baby girl from Korea.

The couple have named their first child Nancy Leigh, after the actress’ mother Nancy and her sister Margaret Leigh, but have already nicknamed her Naleigh.

Heigl and Kelley began the adoption process for little Naleigh - who was delivered on 23 November (08) - six months ago.

The Grey’s Anatomy actress revealed earlier this month (Sep09) the couple’s applications were quickly processed, because their daughter has special needs.

Heigl explained, “She is a special needs baby and because of that it all moved so much faster. They wanted to get her to us as quickly as possible.”

A spokesperson for the actress says both parents and child are together and doing well.

The couple has been married since 2007.
