Heigl's hubby pays emotional tribute to adopted daughter

Katherine Heigl's husband thinks their adopted baby is "awesome".

Katherine Heigl's husband thinks their adopted baby is "awesome".

Musician Josh Kelley gushed about Nancy Leigh - a 10-month-old Korean girl with special needs he and Heigl 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 sang 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 she has wanted to adopt a Korean baby since she was a child.

She said: "It's 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.

"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."
