Mariska Hargitay Adopts Baby Andrew Nicolas Just Six Months After Amaya

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Update-Mariska Hargitay is growing her family and it’s a boy! Just months after adopting her second child, a daughter Amaya Josephine, Law & Order SVU actress Mariska Hargitay expands her growing family with their latest addition, Andrew Nicolas Hargitay Hermann, who was born this past summer.

“We never in a million years thought it would happen this quickly, but something inside of us knew that this was right, and we said, ‘Yes, yes, yes!’

Hargitay continued;

“We knew this was our guy. Everything about it felt right. It felt divinely right.”

Andrew seems to be adjusting to life just fine at the Hermann residence as big sister Amaya is helping ease him in.

“They’ll lie in the crib together, and she’ll hold his hand and put her arm around him. She’s already so protective of him.”

Hargitay and husband Peter Hermann who are also parents to 5-year old August, shared with a source that they were eager to adopt again because their hearts were already open and ready to accept another needy, newborn.   The insider stated;

“He was a preemie.   He and Amaya are just a few months apart.   Their hearts were so opened by the first adoption.   So they couldn’t imagine NOT taking the opportunity to bring another baby into the family.”

“They are very tired and overwhelmed with the change. But overjoyed.”

The source continued;

“Mariska is thrilled and amazed with all the new blessings and great fortune.   She has more love than she imagined!”

Congratulations to Mariska Hargitay and her hubby Peter Hermann!

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
