10 Celebrities You Didn’t Know Were Adopted

Marilyn Monroe

We all know about the star’s tumultuous adult life but sadly, problems for the actress started from a very young age. She was born to a single mother who struggled with mental health issues and this meant Marilyn spent her early years in foster homes and municipal facilities.

At 11 years old she was formally adopted by a family friend. But for unknown reasons, this didn’t last and the young girl spent another few years living with friends and relatives until her nuptials at 16!
