Congratulations are in order for the beautiful South African actress
One of the most gorgeous women on the planet is now a mom for the first time. Actress Charlize Theron has adopted a baby boy! Congratulations to this talented woman, who is no doubt over-the-moon with excitement about the new addition.
Very little is known about the child, except that Theron is overjoyed about the adoption.Charlize Theron is arguably one of the most gifted actresses working today. Her list of accolades and wonderful movies is long and impressive. Now, apparently, Charlize has decided to take on her most challenging role yet: mother.
A brief statement issued by Charlize Theron's spokesperson confirmed the news:
"Charlize Theron has adopted a child. She is the proud mom of a healthy baby boy named Jackson."
Now, I realize that not everyone's totally into the single parenting thing, but this decision is one that Theron has thought about for quite a while. Charlize isn't married (she split from longtime boyfriend Stuart Townsend early last year), and isn't really involved in a serious relationship (at least not one the tabloids have gotten hold of) -- but she has discussed adopting before. Last year, during an interview, Charlize said flat out: "I want a baby. If it would happen tomorrow I would be very happy." She also said she'd be totally open to adoption, even if she wasn't married.
She was serious. Now, Charlize Theron has joined the ranks of other celebrity moms. I think it's wonderful that she's taken this huge step of adopting -- and I say that as both an adoptee and someone who is currently knee-deep in the (ridiculously lengthy) process of trying to adopt a child. Adoption is an amazing thing.
Here's hoping that Charlize Theron enjoys every single moment of her life with her new baby, Jackson.
