Gary Coleman
Not all adoption stories are good ones. Actor Gary Coleman was a successful child star thanks to the support from his adoptive parents, Sue and W.G. Coleman. The couple adopted him at birth. As an adult though, he was forced to sue his parents regarding issues with handling his hard-earned wages. When they both passed away in 2010, Coleman was not in contact with either of them and stays largely under the radar now.
JC Chasez
Did you know this boy bander was adopted when he was five years old? Born in 1976, his biological mother knew she would not be able to properly care for her new son. Instead of raising him herself, she asked her own foster parents, Roy and Karen Chasez, to raise him for her. The child became a family member and was adopted when he was five. He would later become a singer with NSYNC.
