Jenna Ushkowitz
You might know her from Glee, but this actress could have been someone entirely different had she not been adopted from Seoul, South Korea as a three-month-old baby. Her adoptive parents raised their baby in the neighborhood of East Meadow, New York, with their other son, Gregg. She's gone on to create Kindred: The Foundation for Adoption, which assists adoptees and their families with valuable resources and support.
Jamie Foxx
Before he was a world-famous actor, Jamie Foxx was a child of divorce. When his parents split up, it was his maternal grandmother who took him in at just seven months old. He was raised for his whole life in the town of Terrell, Texas. There, he joined a local church choir and fell in love with singing, performing, and later, acting.
