Heartbreaking Decisions: Stars Who Gave their Children Up for Adoption

Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell is a huge rock star, but at one point she was just a scared kid of 21-years-old that got pregnant out of wedlock in 1965. With no husband and no financial security to speak of, she put her daughter up for adoption. In 1997, Mitchell announced publicly that she was looking for her daughter, and she was eventually reunited with Kilauren Gibb, the daughter she’d never met.
