Heigl may adopt Korean orphan

Katherine Heigl is planning to adopt a Korean orphan, it has been reported.

The Grey's Anatomy actress and her husband Josh Kelley have apparently been approved and must now wait while the procedure runs its course.

The couple chose the country because Heigl's sister Meg was adopted from there more than 30 years ago, reports say.

A source told the National Enquirer: "Meg has had a profound impact on Katherine's life, which is why she and Josh are trying to adopt a Korean child.

"They've chosen an adoption agency and have started filing the necessary paperwork. They haven't gone public with the news yet because they want to make sure there are no problems before they make an announcement."
