Famous Celebrities You Had No Idea Were Adopted

Babe Ruth

Not much is known about the origins of this famous ballplayer, but one thing is for certain. When he was seven he was sent to live in an orphanage, despite having lived with his parents up until that point. He was sent to St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys. The orphanage doubled as a reform school, so it's believed that Ruth's troubled delinquency led him to some more extreme repercussions for his actions.
