Los Angeles, Jan 15 (IANS): Actress Katherine Heigl, who is already raising a three-year-old adopted daughter Naleigh, plans to adopt another child.

The "New Year's Eve" actress, who raises the girl with husband Josh Kelley, says the couple is keen to give a home to child before trying for biological kids, reports showbizspy.com.

"Josh and I started talking about it before we were even engaged. We have talked about having biological children as well, but we decided to adopt first. I'd like to adopt again," said Heigl.

The 33-year-old star admitted she loved daughter Naleigh from the moment she was put into her arms.

"Anyone who doesn't have experience with adoption wonders, 'Does love for a child come through DNA?' I knew it didn't.

"They're yours. You love them the moment they're put into your arms. Josh had to learn that, but he was so gracious and accepting," she said.

"Naleigh felt really comfortable with Josh and they bonded quickly. It was harder for me. It was a struggle for me because all I wanted to do was bond with her. But it takes time for a child to trust this new situation and to trust you," added the actress.
