Katherine Heigl has released adorable photos of her and her husband Josh's new baby girl, Nancy Leigh. Katherine says the ten month old little girl will go by the nickname Naleigh. Katherine posted the pictures on her foundation's website, where she explained that the baby was named after Katherine's mother Nancy and Katherine's sister Margaret Leigh.
Katherine talked about the adoption process on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, saying "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. It's [adoption] has been a big part of my life and my family. My sister is Korean and my parents adopted her back in the '70s, and so I just always knew that this is something I wanted to do."
Katherine said she made sure her new husband would be on board with an adoption before she married him, saying "I just wanted to make sure that I was marrying a guy who understands that this was going to have to happen. So about a year ago is when we said, 'OK, let's start the process,' and the process is intense. It's different, but it isn't, do you know what I mean? It's just as intense I'm sure to have a baby biologically, because you're going through the whole physical sort of thing of it."
