I am an only child (I loved it) and my daughter will be an only child too. Children don’t NEED siblings to have a happy life, it’s all in how you make it. I have a full and happy life and never felt I missed out on anything (especially my parents time and attention).

You should have a second child because you WANT a second child- not because you feel you are giving your first child a gift (they may or may not feel that way), or as a back up in case something happens to the first child.

Why is everyone assuming Halle will get pregnant again? I remember her discussing adoption more than once before she got pregnant with Nahla. Therefore, maybe they’re thinking of adopting?

Being an only child is not as pathetic as some would believe. I loved every minute of it. I had plenty of friends to keep me company and felt lucky to have my parents to myself. Are there some days I wish I had a sibling? Sure. But most days I’m content with being an only. There are advantages to it, just like every other kind of family structure.

As an only child, whose mother was an only child, I agree with Gabriel. My cousin, also an only child and she married later in life, also rushed to have more than one. I know people who are only children who say how wonderful it is. I don’t agree and and glad my children have each other. Those of you who say how blessed you are to have siblings will understand. The only child syndrome is not always happy.

Gabriel is younger than Halle, and therefore needs to take the health risks/factors that could affect her pregnancy into consideration when trying for a 2nd child- I personally believe they should be content with Nahla and perhaps foster, adopt or whatever?

It’s great if they want to expand their family. However, raising one child is just as wonderful. Families come in different sizes. What’s best for one family may not be best for another. Plus, if she is unable to have another child due to age or other factors, she is blessed to have the daughter she has — a daughter that will have a terrific life with her parents and extended family and friends.

He says it like it is so easy for a 42 year old to have a baby. Good luck Halle.

Good luck to them. I see Halle is already 42 so better get cracking on the second kid considering she has diabetes and there’s health concerns the older she gets. Then again maybe she was smart when she was much younger and froze some eggs.

I hope they have another baby, Nahla is beautiful. I couldn’t imagine my life without my two older sisters, so many great memories and as we got older we developed into close friends. It’s a special bond.
