Joni Mitchell

We are extra surprised by this one! Joni Mitchell has a child and gave it up for adoption when she was 21. This was back in 1965 before she was a big star. She was unwed and didn’t have much money so she believed she was doing right by her child. She met her daughter Kilauren Gibb in 1997 after conducting a successful public search. We’re happy for them!

Hank Williams, Sr.

This is pretty crazy. Hank Williams’ has a daughter named Jett. She was born out of wedlock just five days after Hank died from heart failure. Hank’s mom, Lillian, adopted her, but she died when Jett was only 2. Jett was later adopted by another family in Alabama. She definitely didn’t have the easiest start to her life, right?
