Why such a quick second adoption for the Law and Order: SVU star and husband Peter Hermann, who also have a biological son, August, 5?
"He was a preemie," born in the United States about three months early, explains the insider. "He and Amaya are just a few months apart." Hargitay, 47, and theater actor Hermann, 44, adopted Amaya back in April.
"Their hearts were so opened by the [first] adoption," the source says of Hargitay and Hermann, married since 2004. "So they couldn't imagine NOT taking the opportunity to bring another baby into the family."
Of course, expanding the brood from three to five within six months hasn't been easy. "They are very tired and overwhelmed with the change," admits the source. "But overjoyed.
Andrew Nicolas Hargitay Hermann comes to the family just six months after the couple brought home daughter Amaya Josephine.
"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 tells the magazine. "We knew this was our guy. Everything about it felt right. It felt divinely right."
In addition to Amaya, little Andrew is now also a brother to 5-year-old August.
Congrats to the entire Hargitay-Hermann home!
