Shields and Ryan Are Tickled Pink
Meg Ryan and Brooke Shields are in the pink -- literally. Both are adding little girls to their families.
Shields and her TV writer-producer husband Chris Henchy have announced that their second child, due in May, will be a girl. "I'm thrilled for my daughter to have a little friend," Shields says.
Shields bravely chronicled her battle with post-partum depression in the book 'Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression.' Her outspoken support of antidepressants prompted the criticism of Tom Cruise, a Scientologist who opposes psychiatry and prescription medication to battle depression.
Shields' daughter, Rowan, is 2.
On another little girl front, Us Weekly is reporting that actress Meg Ryan has adopted a baby girl from China. ''Meg is thrilled by the new addition to her family,'' a source close to Ryan tells Us Weekly in its issue hitting newsstands tomorrow. Ryan, who already has a 13-year-old son, Jack, with ex-husband Dennis Quaid, returned to the United States on Jan. 23 with her new child from China. The magazine reports the actress completed the adoption at an American consulate there after an eight-day stay and months of red tape.
