Shannon Tweed, the wife of Kiss bassist and vocalist Gene Simmons is eager to adopt a child to fill the family’s emptying nest but her husband and two kids are not keen on the idea.

The family, which is featured on the A&E series “Gene Simmons Family Jewels” (Mondays at 9 p.m.), met with a social worker who interviewed the family before an adoption is granted, according to this article on the Ultimate Classic Rock website.

The storyline is scheduled to continue next week.
