Famous Celebrities You Had No Idea Were Adopted

Andy Dick

Born in Charleston and adopted at birth, the comedian was raised by a married couple, Allen and Sue Dick. He lived for 40 years before meeting his birth parents, who gave him up due to being unwed and not ready for children. "There was a book about adoption called The Primal Wound. The first sentence says, just so you know, you have a primal wound that will never heal," Dick told Hollywood News. "I closed the book and never read it."
