Mariska Hargitay has a big surprise to share.

The Law & Order: SVU star and her husband, actor Peter Hermann, have adopted a baby girl, she tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Baby Amaya Josephine was born about a week ago and is from the United States.

"I'm deliriously happy," Hargitay, 47, tells PEOPLE. "From the minute she was born, she was just surprisingly alert and so full of love."

"We were considering both international and domestic adoption and we're thrilled that this is the way our prayers were answered," she adds. "We talked a lot about mixed-race adoptions, and we are very excited that we are now a multi-racial family. We're just so happy she's here."

And there's one family member who's more excited than anyone: Hargitay's 4½-year-old son, August.

"He is over the moon," says the actress. "He calls her his baby because he says the whole thing was his idea. He always talks about how he's going to protect her. He's going to be a great big brother."

I wish Angelina Jolie would adopt my ass.

Man wtf?

They adopting kids that no one else wants. If they can give a black baby a better life than more power to them. There is way too many black babies that languish in foster care shuffling from home to home. Im at the point where i stopped having knee jerk vitrolistic reactions to stories like this because on the surface things are simplistic....."here goes ANOTHER white celeb parading around a black baby! im sick of this!" Now im like hey, the ends justify the means regardless.

I hate when bourgie niggas always equate everything to slavery. That shit irks me because it defiles the struggle that we went through with slavery. We so detached from it, that we drop that metaphor everytime black and whites mix and mingle. Our great grandparents knew better

 

[Sampson]

Yeah, giving babies stable homes that (in most cases) their irresponsible parents couldn't is really slavery.

It's an insult to the slaves to even compare the two.

 

[Lola]

How come we don't hear people talking shit when white (celebs and non-celebs) adopt ASIAN babies?

I have never heard these fucked up jokes until white celebs started adopting BLACK babies!!

They are getting homes (and high income ones at that) why is that a problem?

 

[illdog]

Kids maybe getting a super break since black child adoption is on slow, foster parents can be mercenary and creepy, group homes are on full...and then

come on dude you dont know what they were going through after their unsuccessful pregnancies, it may have been too painful for them to adopt a black child.

 

[jwilliam85]

White people think black babies are prettier.

 

[Chiyo]

black folks dont really adopt so black kids in this nation rot in foster care.

If they can give the kids healthy environments, then more power to them.

 

[Pworld297]

I wish Angelina Jolie would adopt my ass.

C/S bruh!

 

[Andeyhollawho]

Yeah chalk this one up in the "stupidest shit I ever thought of" pile op.

 

[4North1Side2]

Really?

 

[geechiedan]

no the industrial prison system is modern day slavery and black men are lining up to go there

 

[DAYNE]

White people think black babies are prettier.

until they grow up then they want to deny opp. and put them in jail

you finally got over the heat losing and your daddy heist leaving and decided to post again

 

[dtownsfinest]

So let me get this straight. We give up our kids to adoption and when whites want to adopt them and take care of them they are in the wrong? We need to take care of our kids and start having them when we are ready to have them. Props to anyone adopting ANY KID. Modern day slavery my ass.

 

[heiesuke]

Retarded concept!

 

[34real]

Slavery?,no,trendy amongst certain outside of the box thinkers,yes.Is it good?I don't think anyone knows for certain.

 

[^SpiderMan^]

Slavery? No.

That said, I don't like it.White people adopt these kids like pets.I work with quite a few lesbians and a few adopted black babies.They ALWAYS feel the need to TELL people that their kids are black.Sure it is better than leaving these kids in the system, but I don't like it.I wish we could have our shit together to the point where we wouldn't have to applaud people for that shit.Imagine if two bruthas adopted a white,blonde,blue eyed girl.

BTW...it is unbelievably coonish to be a millionaire brutha and you decide to rescue a white infant over millions of black ones.

I'm happy that the child could possibly be in a better environment. I think the anger comes from the fact that the people who caused or contributed alot to the conditions that caused the child to be an orphan are now benefitting from it. People will bring up "unconditional love " and other emotions , but these "feelings" are never used when making decisions on social policy. Everything that happens in society is planned. This is another product of this planned society.

Yeah chalk this one up in the "stupidest shit I ever thought of" pile op.

I didn't think of it Smart Guy. I overheard this convo yesterday.
Of course it doesn't involve picking cotton and being beaten.
I just listen to both sides of the conversation and thought that i'd bring it here and see what y'all take was on it.
One guys take is that either way you look at it...it's still "Black Person" ownership.

 

[Big Tex]

Niggas searching for modern day slavery is modern day slavery.

 

[chilibrick]

the part no one is talking about is what happens to these kids where are older? most of these children will have little or no access to a diverse group of black people. the only contact they will have is from tv, movies and the newspapers. and you know how objective they are when it comes to showing the black community! in the end the children of this type of adoption come out as anti-black or really militant. just because white people can supply a home and money they lack the tools for a black child to survive in this society.

 

[DAYNE]

you finally got over the heat losing and your daddy heist leaving and decided to post again

you miss me cocksucker

 

[Artist Monk]

No, but the foster care system and Child services system might as well be, the placement of black children into homes where the caretaker is only about that CHECK has been problem for as long as I've been alive.

Surviv in what society? They'll have more money than most of us will ever have and better educations and more opportunities than most of us will ever have. I think they'll suvive just fine.

just because you have money and a education doesn't mean you have the tools to deal with other people or other people dealing with you.
