Keep reading to see 20 stars whose childhood stories may surprise you.

Steve Jobs

The late Apple CEO was given up at birth in 1955 and quickly adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs, a San Francisco couple who were unable to have children.

Jamie Foxx

The Oscar winner was adopted by his maternal grandmother when he was just 7 months old.

Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926. Her mother, Gladys Baker, was mentally unstable and financially unable to care for her, so she placed her with foster parents whom she lived with until she was 7. Not long after her mother attempted to get Marilyn back, she suffered a nervous breakdown and was hospitalized; Marilyn was then declared a ward of state and her mother's best friend, Grace McKee, became her legal guardian. That only lasted for a few years, and Marilyn was sent to the Hollygrove orphanage in LA - and then a series of foster homes - before returning to Grace McKee's home.
Unfortunately, Grace and her husband were about to move to the East Coast and could not take Marilyn with them. They approached the mother of a neighbor, James Dougherty, about him marrying Marilyn. They tied the knot just weeks after she turned 16 so that she wouldn't have to return to foster care or an orphanage.

Faith Hill

The country crooner was adopted as an infant and grew up in rural Mississippi. It wasn't until she moved to Nashville to embark on a singing career that she decided to search for her birth family. She has since said of the journey, "I have a lot of respect for my birth mother. I know she must have had a lot of love for me to want to give what she felt was a better chance."

Nelson Mandela

The late politician and peace activist was adopted and raised by a tribe chief and his wife at the age of 9, shortly after his biological father's death.
