Katherine Heigl's newly-adopted daughter underwent life-saving surgery to repair a hole in her heart when she was just two months old. The Knocked Up star and her singer husband Josh Kelley finalized the adoption of 10-month-old Nancy Leigh from Korea last week, revealing their applications were fast-tracked because the tot has special needs.

Heigl explained, "They wanted to get her to us as quickly as possible."

Now the National Enquirer reports the baby - nicknamed Naleigh - had an operation soon after she was born to fix her heart defect.

A source tells the tabloid, "Doctors said the congenital heart defect had to be treated quickly to save the baby's life."
