Actress Mariska Hargitay and her husband Peter Hermann have adopted a baby boy just six months after doing the same with a baby girl, the actress told People Magazine on Wednesday.
The 47 years old Hargitay, who married theater actor Peter Hermann, 44, in August 2004, adopted Andrew Nicolas after he was born over the summer. The couple adopted Amaya Josephine in April this year, and they have a 5 year-old biological son named August.
Mariska Hargitay told People, she was surprised at the speed of the second adoption, but said it 'felt right'.
''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!'' said Mariska Hargitay.
Mariska Hargitay is best known for her role as Detective Olivia Benson on NBC's 'Law and Order: Special Victims Unit', which has garnered her both Emmy and Golden Globe wins. The show is currently in its 13th season.
