Josh Kelley Opens Up About Nancy Leigh During Concert

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 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 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 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."

So happy for these two. Can't wait to see Katherine take her daughter to the park! :)

Did they get to choose the name Nancy or was she already named?

Don't know but "Nancy" seems to me to be such an old-fashioned name and definitely not a name of Korean origin, so I am guessing that they chose the name, maybe in recognition of someone in either side of the family...

She is named Nancy Leigh after Katherine's mother Nancy and sister Leigh. They are calling her Naleigh for short.
