Calista Flockhart is set to relive her adoption joy by becoming a mom again on TV.

The actress, who adopted a 10-day-old baby boy in 2001, will experience motherhood all over again thanks to an upcoming storyline in TV drama Brothers + Sisters.

Flockhart's character Kitty and her husband, played by Rob Lowe, will be chosen as the adoptive parents of actress Sonja Sohn's child.

But the show's executive producer Alison Schapker tells America's TV Guide magazine the adoption doesn't go to plan: "It's going to be a different kind of adoption story."
