There has definitely been a big celebrity baby boom going on. Yesterday Tina Fey announced on Orpah that she’s five months pregnant with her second child (after pretending to be pregnant on an episode of “30 Rock” not all that long ago), while Mariska Hargitay revealed that she has adopted a baby girl named Amaya Josephine. Unfortunately, the baby boom is lacking celebrities willing to adopt like Mariska.
In fact, looking back over the celebrity adoption news over the last two years, it seems that Mariska Hargitay, Katherine Heigl, and Sandra Bullock are two of the only celebrities that have decided to give unwanted children a better life. In fact, Heigl actually went so far as to adopt a special needs child in 2009 -- a little girl named Naleigh from Korea. And of course Bullock shocked her fans last year by introducing the world to baby Louis on the cover of “People” magazine.
But for every celebrity adoption, there are dozens of celebrities deciding to have their own children.

She’s the daughter of Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay. If memory serves, Mariska and her brother were in the back seat when the car carrying her mother and another adult slammed into the back of a semi, killings the adults instantly. The kids were unhurt.
Thank you. It was a fact that was almost there, but fluttering just out of reach!
My Bill (#2 of 9) told us, when his brother Tom (#3) was about five days old, “Can you take Tom back to the hospital now? I’ve decided I don’t want a brother.”
Poor Bill, it’s been all downhill since 1996.
Shoot, if I’d asked the kids they would have wanted a puppy instead. Or a Nintindo!
Bill has an electric guitar now.
Mariska Hargitay!
Mine are grown up, they get have their own baby or Play Station now... ;)
Mariska Hargitay’s (b. 1964) first prominent role was in 14 episodes of a show called “Downtown” (’86-’87). Then in 15 episodes of “Falcon Crest”. Also 15 episodes of “ER”.
Two? I count three names.
I recently heard a woman recount her experience of attempting to adopt domestically, then eventually adopting from Guatamala. There are so many requirements and financial costs involved. And then I see stories of incompetent biological parents who would never cut muster under adoption regulations. It just makes me shake my head.
