Top 25 Celebrity Adoptions of All Time: Mia Farrow

Mia Farrow Celebrity Adoption>#1: The Celebrity Adoption Pioneer</p> <p>You can’t talk about celebrity adopters without talking about Mia Farrow, a mother of 15, 11 of whom are adopted. She was an adoption pioneer, rescuing children from poverty stricken countries long before it was cool. </p> <p>“The war in Vietnam led me to my first adoption, my daughter Lark. In shaping my family, I came to an awareness of all the needs, globally and in this country. I found that just having children connects you to all children, everywhere.” Mia boasts a 15-strong family, 11 of whom are adopted, from all corners of the globe. Amongst them are a Vietnamese war orphan with asthma, a crack-addicted baby, who was blind and died recently, a paraplegic, and a polio victim who had been abandoned at a Calcutta railway station. Farrow has been a high profile advocate of adoption since the 1970s, adopting children from poverty stricken regions, many of whom were deemed ‘difficult to place’ due to biological handicaps. </p> <p><img src=
