Katherine Heigl W magazine December 2010 'The Family Issue'

Katherine Heigl appears on the cover of W magazine's 'The Family Issue' with adopted baby daughter Naleigh.

Katherine says she adopted Naleigh, who was born in Korea just 'three or four days' before she starting filming 'Life As We Know It.'

"I was about to play a woman who inherits a baby, and I was experiencing the exact same thing," she said.

"My sister is Korean," Katherine said. "I hope one day she and Naleigh will be able to talk about what it's like to be adopted."

The actress says there was 'no way in hell' she was going to get rid of her six dogs before Naleigh arrived.

"Naleigh loves them," she said. "Sometimes it reminds me of The Jungle Book. I'm like, 'Oh my God - she's being raised by animals!'."
