Angelina Jolie plans to add a girl from Syria to her brood of six kids, according to Al Arabiya and OK!, the strangest gossip bedfellows we could imagine. Angelina and Brad Pitt recently visited Iraqi refugees in the country, which borders Iraq, and now she's decided her next kid will come from Syria. Brad's name is reportedly not on the papers filed with the US Immigration and Naturalization Service, which could bode ill.

Brad and Angelina have five kids under the age of five, plus oldest son Maddox, who's eight. Add two high-powered movie careers and all … Read More

In August we saw Katherine Heigl in a baby-gear store, then last week she told Ellen that she was expecting her daughter to arrive any day. Celebrity Love: Katherine Heigl And Husband Adopting—Too Soon?

Katherine caught a lot of flack from the members of the public who suspected she refused to birth a baby because she didn't want to jeopardize her superstar body with pregnancy. To those haters, we say: look at the gorgeous child (link to People.com below), and apologize to Katherine Heigl.

Grey's Anatomy captivator Katherine, 30, and husband since December … Read More

There have been a few rumors being batted around that say Neil Patrick Harris is expecting a child. Seeing as he and his partner, the super cool David Burtka, are both men and thus incapable of becoming pregnant, we were mildly skeptical of the story. Jokes aside, obviously NPH and David Burtka could very easily have secured a surrogate (possibly David Crosby?) but the star of How I Met Your Mother has told New York Magazine that they are waiting a bit before they become parents though he says that he and David "would make … Read More

Katherine Heigl and her husband of eighteen months, Josh Kelley, are adopting a baby girl from Korea, the actress announced Thursday. In a segment filmed for Ellen Degeneres's show, set to air Friday, Katherine said, "I wanted to tell everybody so you don't think I stole a Korean baby."

The ten-month-old girl will be named Naleigh, a combination of Katherine's mother's and sister's names. "She was actually born the day before me in November, which I thought was really serendipitous and just kind of like a sign," Katherine told Ellen. "I realized just recently that I basically forfeited … Read More

Kourtney Kardashian, like a lot of reality stars, has chosen to be open about almost everything in her life, and her recent unplanned pregnancy is no exception. But while some people have chosen to criticize her bun-in-the-oven candidness in recent weeks, we can't help but applaud it. In fact, we think there's a lot we can learn from Kourtney Kardashian and her situation. Among the bits of wisdom:

1. Remember to use your birth control. If you don't want to get pregnant, take precautions. Obviously. In Kourtney's case, she says she may have forgotten to take her pill prior to accidentally … Read More

It looks like Madonna's showing Guy Ritchie a little mercy—or little Mercy James, we should say, who's her four-year-old newly adopted daughter from Malawi.

PopSugar.com reports the Ciccone-Ritchie clan reunited this weekend in London when all six of them—Madonna, Guy, Lourdes, Rocco, David and now sweet Mercy—attended Kabbalah services together, two weeks after Mercy's adoption was finalized. Last week Guy was present to welcome Mercy to London before taking David and Rocco off Madonna's hands, and sources say he's been a major source of support throughout the adoption process.Read More

For me and Amy, however, there was always more hope, always another chance to get pregnant. The next peak in the Fertility Himalayas, ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection), was a technique developed in 1992 for severe cases of male infertility in which healthy looking single sperms are literally inserted into healthy seeming eggs. The goal is multiple fertilizations. The fertilized eggs can then be frozen and preserved, or returned to the womb to (hopefully) develop.

ICSI took place in a private hospital. … Read More

Amy had been referred to a Beverly Hills fertility doctor, who was so reassuring that I took him to calling him Dr. Mellow. His office had a wall of photos of smiling babies, as if to say, "This will be you."  

We sat in his waiting room holding hands. We believed. We didn't know we had just taken our seats inside the Hope Factory.

Once inside, the possibility of getting pregnant never ended. If one technique failed, you tried another, and … Read More

Right around this time, my Amy and I decided to move to California. Perhaps a fresh start, a fresh perspective would help. 

My wife's doctor in NY sent her to a doctor in Beverly Hills, who sent her to a fertility specialist, who sent me a doctor whose first name sounded a lot like "Pappy." He was the doctor to see for guys whose guys need to get going. 

Pappy had a slightly goofy personality. … Read More
