"I've been writing adoption storylines on my shows and only a few people close to me knew about my plans," Rhimes told US Weekly, who first reported the news. "I think the response was 'oh my goodness' from a lot of people."

In 2002, Rhimes adopted her first daughter, Harper, before she had even created her flagship series Grey's. "Ten years ago in June, when I was in my house with a small, small baby, that's when I started really watching television, that's when I first started to think, "God, all the good stuff is happening in TV," Rhimes recently told TVGuide.com.
