Elizabeth Banks has second son via surrogate

Elizabeth Banks and her sports writer/producer husband, Max Handelman, welcomed their second son into their lives recently via a surrogate. The new arrival, named Magnus, joins their son, Felix, who was born in March 2011. She wrote on her official website: “…nothing can match the joy and excitement my husband and I felt when we recently welcomed our second baby boy, Magnus Mitchell Handelman. Magnus joins older brother Felix, thus commencing a decade or more of close hand to hand combat. Like Felix, Magnus was born via gestational surrogate. This experience has exceeded all expectations, taught us a great deal about generosity and gratitude, and established a relationship that will last a lifetime. I am also so very thankful to our family and friends for their support throughout this process, as well as the Center for Surrogate Parenting for helping make all this possible. I now turn my attention to managing two boys under two. For which I am thankful. And all their poop. For which I am less thankful. Wish me luck.”
