5 Nigerian Celebs Who Became Parents Through Adoption (Photos)

Wikipedia defines adoption as the process whereby a person assumes the parenting of another, usually a child, from that person’s biological or legal parent or parents.

Legal adoptions permanently transfer all rights and responsibilities, along with filiation, from the biological parents to the adoptive parents.
