Mariska Hargitay & Peter Hermann | Andrew & Amaya

Next, we have another pair of proud adoptive parents, Mariska Hargitay and Peter Hermann. Indeed, these two are great examples of parents who can treat adopted children as their own despite their blood differences. The Hollywood pair has three children. Their eldest, August Hermann, was born via C-section on June 28, 2006. Then by April of 2011, the couple decided to add another adorable member to their brood and adopted their daughter, Amaya. In October of the same year, Mariska and Peter welcomed their second adopted child, Andrew Nicolas Hermann.

According to the actress, she had always considered adopting a child even when she doesn’t have any problems conceiving. Moreover, this was because the actress grew up in a very unconventional family set-up, so she believed that a family is what you make it. Fortunately, Mariska and Peter found the right lawyers and adoption experts to help them grow their adorable family. They’re also very showy in their love for their kids, so if you want to see what they’ve been doing recently, you can check the actress’ Instagram.
