Hugh Jackman is famous for playing Wolverine — but when it comes to his kids he’s a sweet wittle teddy bear!
The adorbz daddy recently opened up about he and wife Deborra-Lee Furness‘s decision to adopt. He said coming to terms with the fact that he couldn’t have children naturally was “painful” certainly “not easy.” But now he knows that adding Oliver (11) and Ava (6) to his family was destiny.
He said:
“We thought we’d have a kid or two biologically and then adopt. But when we decided we’d had enough of IVF [in vitro fertilization], we went ahead with adoption.
“From the moment we started the adoption process, all the anxiety went away. I don’t think of them as adopted – they’re our children. Deb and I are believers in I suppose you could call it destiny. We feel things happened the way they are meant to. Obviously, biologically wasn’t the way we were meant to have children. Now, as we go through life together, sure there are challenges, but everyone’s in the right place with the right people. It sounds airy-fairy, but it’s something we feel very deeply.”
Oh, Hugh! We don’t think that’s airy-fairy (actually, we don’t really know what that means).
It takes a real man to be so open and honest about his trouble conceiving and the unyielding love he feels for his children!!
