Adopting children is a common practice among many married couples, including celebrity couples. Adopting children is not only intended for couples who have not been blessed with children, but also for those who are able to support such a decision. This action is aimed at spreading love, affection, and warmth that the abandoned children have yet to experience from their own families.

Of course, adopting a child is a noble act that deserves appreciation. It is not easy to adopt a child, as the married couple must meet the requirements that have been set. It requires strong determination and a sincere heart.

Here are a series of Indonesian celebrities who have adopted children to enhance the moments of togetherness in their families. Let's take a closer look below!
