'You didn't come from Mommy's tummy, you came from my heart' (via toofab)
"They said, 'Did a baby ever come from you tummy?' And I said, 'No. It didn't.' And [my daughter] said, 'Okay, I'm adopted.' They say that all the time."
She continued:"We haven't had the big discussions about it, because I think that is to come. But in this moment, they know that they are adopted, I tell them how cool it is. I tell them that their cousin Ella was adopted and, you know, 'All the cool kids were adopted' — they get such a kick out of that."
Hoda shares the girls with fiancé of eight years Joel Schiffman. They adopted Haley in 2017, naming her after Halley's Comet, which appears once every 75 years — or as Hoda describes it:"It's once in a blue moon that something beautiful like that happens." Describing the moment she first met her, Hoda says she doesn't even remember who handed the child to her,"because all I could see was her."
“They put her in my arm… she fit like she was born there," she said."I looked down and these eyes were looking at me and I thought to myself, ‘Forever, for as long as I am breathing, you will be protected and loved and cared for.'"
