10 Celebrities Who Gave Their Kids Up For Adoption!


Giving a child up for adoption is no easy decision. It is a life-changing event that is probably one of the most heart -wrenching acts a parent can make.

Certainly not something anyone ever plans to do including celebrities. Why? Because they are normal people. They go to the grocery store, shop at Target, eat at Taco Bell and have the same urges to privacy as anyone else.

However, their right to privacy is at times forfeited by people following their lives and others digging into their past.

You see, many people have done things in their past that they prefer to keep hidden. However, that’s not always possible when someone is a celebrity. If a celebrity has skeletons in their closets, they need to be prepared for the possibility of it being leaked. Giving up a baby for adoption is one of those things.

Many celebrities have faced the harrowing decision of placing their babies up for adoption. Many were young, broke, struggling artists at the time. See which ones, by a twist of fate, have reunited with their child.
