Tom
and
Nicole adopted
their
eldest
child,
Isabella,
when
she
was
born
on
Dec.
22,
1992.
Admittedly “scared
to
death”
the
first
time
he
changed
a
diaper,
Tom
told VF in
1994 that
he
and
Nicole “talked
about
children
from
time
to
time,
but
there
was
always
the
work.
But
then
we
went,
When
is
it
ever
going
to
be
the
right
time?
That’s
how
the
conversation
started.
You’re
lying
in
bed
at
night
and
you’re
trying
to
sleep,
so
you
roll
over
and
you
go,
What
would
happen
if
we
had
this
in
our
life?…
One
of
the
things
that
Nic
and
I
talk
about
is
that
now
suddenly
we’re
a
family.”
Nicole
said
they
definitely
planned
on
having
more
kids,
whether
by
birth
or
adoption,
preferably
both.
“Isabella
was
meant
for
us,”
she
told
the
magazine. “I
think
when
things
come
into
your
life
at
a
certain
time
you
have
to
take
them.
It’s
destiny.”
She
later
revealed
to VF in
2007
that
they
decided
to
adopt
after
she
lost
a
pregnancy. “From
the
minute
Tom
and
I
were
married,
I
wanted
to
have
babies,”
she
said. “And
we
lost
a
baby
early
on,
so
that
was
really
very
traumatic.
And
that’s
when
we
would
adopt
Bella.”
“There’s
a
complicated
background
to
that,”
she
added, “given
that
I
never
speak
much
about
many
things.
One
day
maybe
that
story
will
be
told.”
