In canon, Bellatrix Lestrange is married to Rodolphus Lestrange and does not have a child. In MoR, Bellatrix Black is unmarried, but has a child- Lesath Lestrange, the acknowledged bastard of Rastaban Lestrange. (In canon Rodolphus' brother's name was Rabastan, but I'm assuming that's a typo.) Lesath is currently a fifth year, so he was born in either '75 or '76. Bellatrix was actively leading attacks as a Death Eater in '71. Presumably a pregnancy would require some amount of maternity leave from the whole 'going on raids, fighting Aurors' thing.

So. Why would Voldemort allow / order one of his most powerful servants to have a child?

Um. Maybe he was experimenting with the powerful magic protection that a mother's love grants her child?

We know that LL loves his mother, but does she love her son? Does she love anyone but Voldemort?

She'd love her son if Voldermort wanted to make her love him.

Seriously, this has got to be true just for subversion value.
