Famous Celebrities You Had No Idea Were Adopted

Gary Coleman

Not all adoption stories are good ones. Actor Gary Coleman was a successful child star thanks to the support from his adoptive parents, Sue and W.G. Coleman. The couple adopted him at birth. As an adult though, he was forced to sue his parents regarding issues with handling his hard-earned wages. When they both passed away in 2010, Coleman was not in contact with either of them and stays largely under the radar now.
