<\/p>\nFor every woman, having children is a major accomplishment. Of course, Hoda Kotb is not an exception. <\/p>\n
The well-known television personality is now speaking out about her painful transition into parenting.<\/p>\n
To learn more about the struggles Hoda faced before becoming a mother, keep reading.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a recent podcast, Hoda Kotb discussed her adoption experience, which resulted in the birth of her daughters, Haley, 6, and Hope, 3. <\/p>\n
The American television host admitted that she was embarrassed and hesitant to confess her desire to become a mother before she adopted her daughter Haley.<\/p>\n
\u2018I remember never saying out loud that I wanted kids, never, because it was too late,\u2019 the 58-year-old remarked, adding, <\/p>\n
\u2018For girls that it’s too late for, you don’t say it because if you say it, you’re expressing something that you’re never going to get.\u2019<\/p>\n
However, she made the bold decision to take the first step and get in touch with an adoption agency to <\/p>\n
start the process so she could become a mother after realizing that it was never too late and that she still had time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
She stated, \u2018I completed all the necessary paperwork and other requirements, and they were like, ‘Okay, maybe a year, maybe six months, maybe five years, bye.<\/p>\n
When she recalled the moment she found out she would become a mother, she started to cry. \u2018I was going on and on over the phone with a dietitian while I sat there discussing things. <\/p>\n
When my phone rang, I quickly glanced at it to see Ashley, who I recognized as the representative <\/p>\n
from my adoption agency. She instructed me to contact her back right away if she ever texted me. <\/p>\n
\u2018I heard her name, hung up the phone, pulled out a yellow pad, and wrote, ’11:55. I was aware that everything was <\/p>\n
about to alter at this point, she said. I inhaled deeply before dialing the phone, asking for Ashley, and she responded. <\/p>\n

The daytime host cried as she said, \u2018I don’t know how delivery feels, and I suppose it was fantastic, but this was really close. \u2018I still vividly recall that sensation.\u2019<\/p>\n
Kotb published an emotive post about motherhood on Mother’s Day just gone. Happy Mother’s Day, she wrote alongside photos of her cherished daughters. <\/p>\n
You gave me the opportunity to become a mother, something I had always wanted, Hopey and Haley. And to my mother: Without your love, nothing was ever imaginable.<\/p>\n
When Kotb’s youngest daughter was admitted to the ICU in March, she was forced to take a break from anchoring the Today Show. <\/p>\n
