Evangeline Lilly Wants Eco-Friendly Adoptions
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Pregnancies
Evangeline Lilly thinks that people have to stop having babies to save the planet.
The actress, who is been dating her co-star Dominic Monaghan since they met on the set of Lost in 2004, believes people are procreating at an alarming rate and must slow down their baby-making or adopt to “protect” the Earth.
“For a very long time, I have had intentions to adopt. We have a huge population problem on Earth. We’re not going to protect the Earth the way we need to protect it if we don’t stop making so many babies.”
Despite her views on adoption, the 30-year-old beauty is desperate to experience the “gift” of pregnancy and will “allow” herself one baby of her own:
“I have always wanted to have a child of my own, and I will always want to go through the gift that women have been given to experience that, so I hope to be a mother at some point. I think I can allow myself one child - and from then on, I think I would have to adopt. It makes sense not to add to the population problem.”

Josh Kelley Gushes Over Adopted Baby
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Celebrity Babies
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.”
Elton John Plans to Adopt Ukrainian
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Charity, Kind Acts, Rumors
UPDATE: John and Furnish will not we allowed to take home the boy after all. Ukrainian national law prohibits unmarried and/or same-sex couples to adopt.
It seems as if Sir Elton John caught whatever bug Katherine Heigl contracted, as he now wants to adopt a Ukrainian toddler who “stole his heart.”
The veteran pop star and his husband David Furnish “would love” to adopt 14-month-old Lev after spending time with him at an orphanage for babies with HIV or who have parents with the disease.
“David and I have always talked about adoption. David always wanted to adopt a child and I always said ‘no’ because I’m 62, and I think because of the traveling I do and the life I have, maybe it wouldn’t be fair for the child. But seeing Lev today, I would love to adopt him. I don’t know how we do that, but he has stolen my heart. And he has stolen David’s heart and it would be wonderful if we can have a home. I’ve changed my mind today. He’s such a scrumptious thing, bless his heart.”
According to orphanage worker Olga Rudneva, Elton said he didn’t mind if Lev was HIV positive or not. The tot’s mother reportedly lives near the children’s home, but has not visited her son since she gave him to the center.
