Melissa Gilbert and her MIA brother. She met her biological father I believe and basically said it was a disappointment. Sara Gilbert was the biological daughter of Melissa's adoptive mother.

Kristin Chenoweth is adopted and has mentioned it numerous times. She had some story in her book about how she believed a woman she met at some event in Oklahoma was her birth mother. I can't remember as it's been years since I read her book.

Nicole Richie was adopted by Lionel - her biological parents were unfit. I think the father was a musician and/or cousin even of Lionel.

R3 Kristin also did a Hallmark movie with Scott Wolf and an adoption storyline. She plays a choir director and the teen boy who goes to his class and is such a stand-out turns out to be the kid she gave up for adoption years ago.

No doubt her own adoption experience is what made her sign on.

All these celebrities could have just as easily been aborted.

It still is, R10. Don't worry. You can still get your abortions. You just might have to travel further but the chance to kill a baby is worth it, right?

R11 If I had a uterus you better believe it would be worth it just to annoy a right-wing piece of shit like you. Have a nice day!

Faith Hill is adopted.

R8 Her (biological) parents must have both been very beautiful. Debbie Harry has downright otherworldly bone structure.

Geez, McDormand was adopted at one and a half years old. That's sad!
