Actress Brooke Shields is hoping 2009 will be the year her home gets a shot of testosterone.
The 43-year-old mom of two young daughters reveals that she and her husband Chris Henchy are planning to adopt a son next year. However, the child star, who became a champion for postpartum depression following the birth of her first daughter five years ago, says she won’t be following in Angelina Jolie’s footsteps.
Shields confirms that she won’t be adopting from outside the U.S.: “There are a lot of babies out there in our immediate back yard that need families.”
Adoption might be an option for singing superstar Celine Dion and her husband/manager Rene Angelil if their plans to conceive a child naturally don’t work out.
The Grammy winner recently announced that she is hoping to conceive a second child when her world tour wraps up early next year.
There is a “small window of hope,” Dion dished to Oprah Winfrey last week. “We’ll give it a try after my tour … Hopefully, we [will be] parents again.”
Dion and her husband already have a 7-year-old son, Rene-Charles, who was conceived via in vitro fertilization after six years of trying.
Supermodel Niki Taylor is beyond the point of conceiving and is now looking forward to labor and delivery.
The 33-year-old stunner is pregnant with her first child with new husband, NASCAR racing champ Burney Lamar.
Taylor, who is already the proud mom to 13-year-old twin boys from a previous relationship, says she is holding off on finding out the gender of the new baby.
The supermodel says any child is a blessing and doesn’t care if the baby is a boy or girl as long as he or she is healthy.
Taylor wed Lamar in December 2006. Their new baby is due in March.
