“Adoption has been a part of my life and a part of my family, so it was...” — Katherine Heigl Quote

Adoption has been a part of my life and a part of my family, so it was how I wanted to start. It felt natural and right to me.

I used to weigh myself every day at a certain time of day. Then I would write down the number and measure my body fat. It wasn't a healthy way to live.

In my career, I'm very grateful for the opportunities.

Some people think, if you're in the public eye, that you have to have an answer for everything and it has to be boring.

I'm never satisfied with the way I look.

My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

I would like to clarify that the only adoption I am involved is through the Blue Cross Animal Welfare Shelter where we provide healthy and friendly homeless animals for adoption.

I believe that everyone, regardless of who they are, should do something that is greater than themselves. Whether it's adoption, or helping people who are sick or poor, or whatever. That's what God put us on this earth to do.

I think adoption becomes complicated whenever the biological parents are alive.
