Hoda Kotb Cries While Sharing Details About Her Adoption Journey To Become A Mom

Hoda Kotb cries while sharing about the moment she found out she was going to be a mom. The 58-year-old “Today” co-host made an appearance on the “Just B with Bethenny Frankel” podcast and she revealed how she came to adopt. “I remember never saying out loud that I wanted kids, never, because it was too late,” she shared. She then got emotional when reminiscing on the moment she found out she was going to be a mom. “My phone beeped, and I looked at it, and it said Ashley, and Ashley was the lady from my adoption agency, and she said, ‘If I ever text you, you need to call me back immediately. I saw her name, I hung up the phone, I took a yellow pad out, and I wrote, ’11:55. This is the moment everything changes,’ I knew it. I took a deep breath and dialed the number, and I said, ‘Ashley?’ and she said, ‘She’s here.’ I don’t know what birth feels like, and I bet it was amazing, but this was really close,” she said through tears. Hoda is now mom to two daughters, Haley, 6 and Hope, 3.
