It's a good thing Mariska Hargitay has cut back her hours at work.

The Law & Order: SVU star is definitely going to need the extra free time now that she and husband Peter Hermann have just adopted another child, reports People.

So what's the tyke's name?

Andrew Nicolas Hargitay Hermann comes to the family just six months after the couple brought home daughter Amaya Josephine.

"We never in a million years thought it would happen this quickly, but something inside of us knew that this was right, and we said, 'Yes, yes, yes!' " Hargitay tells the magazine. "We knew this was our guy. Everything about it felt right. It felt divinely right."

In addition to Amaya, little Andrew is now also a brother to 5-year-old August.

Congrats to the entire Hargitay-Hermann home!
