For years, Dallas Cowboy DeMarcus Ware and his wife Taniqua dreamed of having a baby. When they were unable, they turned to adoption — and haven’t looked back since. Their daughter Marley, 5 ½-months, has completely changed the 26-year-old linebacker’s perspective on life. Says DeMarcus,
You are so happy because you have a little bundle of joy in your life. I even find myself going to Wal-Mart looking for little toys. When I’m going grocery shopping looking for food, I’m getting baby food instead of food for myself.
Marley’s adoption unfolded over a series of weeks under bittersweet circumstances, for the Wares were still reeling from Taniqua’s second miscarriage — which followed the stillbirth of the couple’s son Omar in 2006. “Everything happened so fast,” Taniqua says, “the timing of it all definitely shows she was meant to be ours.” DeMarcus, who was raised in a single parent household, […]

When Alison Sweeney became pregnant with her second child — a girl due in January — she was sure she had the pregnancy routine down after going through it with her first child, Benjamin Edward, 3 ½. The actress — who dealt with more morning sickness this time around — was quick to realize, however, that "each pregnancy is a completely different experience."

One thing Alison does remember clearly is finding out her son weighed only 7 ½ pounds and realizing she "was in for […]

With her children starring in box office hits and growing up with two famous parents, Jada Pinkett Smith is determined to not let the Hollywood scene lead her kids down the wrong path. Admitting she probably would not have survived as a young celebrity herself, Jada claims that “it would blow your mind” to know “the things I have to talk to my children about at such a young age.”
As the hip-hop industry becomes more influential and movie roles continue to stereotype women, Jada wants to ensure families aren’t swayed by these messages — especially young boys. She says, “I think as mothers, with the music and the media out there, we really have to sit our boys down and tell them, ‘That is not okay.’” When it comes to 7-year-old Willow Camille Reign, the 36-year-old mom admits to having “to constantly reassure my daughter that she is beautiful.” As […]
