Hoda Kotb on the Joy of Raising Haley and Hope and Why She'd Adopt Again | PEOPLE
/ people
Adoption is such a great gift to a child. May God bless Hoda
most of the time, not all
ADOPTION IS A GREAT NAME FOR SELLING CHILDREN IF I SOLD MY CHILD I'D GO TO JAIL.SORRAGATES TOO THEY ARE PAYING PEOPLE FOR BABIES...AND THATS JUST TRUTH JS SHRUGS OK I;LL CALL YALL TOMORROW DONT COME FOR ME I'M FULL OF FIRE I COMMENT MY OPINION JUST LIKE YOU DID.TRUTH
Thank you birth mothers - for choosing life.😘
Adoption is trauma.
I loved being adopted. I always felt special because I was "chosen". 😊
Exactly
you shouldn't its because your biological parents don't want you.
I hated being adopted, looking and feeling different from my adopting family. I never felt "chosen." I felt abandoned.
What a beautiful soul. So great to see Hoda happy!
Nice that she still gets along with Joel.Such a sweet person Hoda.Her mom seems so lovely too.
Being a parent is life changing experience. Hoda is such a great person.
I have been a big Hoda fan through the years, watching the many highs and lows throughout her life but there is nothing better than seeing her whole entire being light up when it comes to her and her girls!. Her children are beautiful and fun to see! ... I'm so happy that Hoda has found her forever! ❤️🌹❤️
Hoda Kotb is the most genuine, beautiful and joyful soul♡
This completely moved me as I adopted 2 young boys,, Everything she said resonates with my soul.. Adoption is a gift to the whole family! Adoption is a gift to your village, it touches every heart
Adoption is trauma. Family separation is trauma.
Hoda Kotb inspires me to live my life with more grace and irreverence through her beautiful example.
What a beautiful family Hoda. Your daughters are absolutely gorgeous!! I’m an older parent too, you got this!!!!🙏❤️
This woman is one of the most genuine humans around. So love her!
Love seeing Hoda’s pure joy with her beautiful daughters! ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve always been a fan of Hoda. Very genuine compassionate person. One happy beautiful family❗️❤️
Wow, her children are growing up sooooo fast!!! Delightful
This is a great interview. Hoda is beautiful and she is raising a beautiful family ❤️
I’m happy for Koda and her husband. The girls are beautiful! ❤️🇨🇦
Hoda and Joel broke up.She was not married to him.
You are SUCH A BEAUTIFIL PERSON & BEAUTIFIL MOTHER!! How BLESSED your daughter's are to have you to have chosen them as your daughter's. As a Grandparent myself I just LOVED how you Honored your Mother as their loving Grandma. Thank you Hoda for the GREAT example you are as a parent in this world. Many Blessings💙😇💙
I’m so sorry that they lost their daddy. Their hearts must be broken like so many other couples that split up. Hopefully they’ll be fine and will adjust later
Honda I am so happy for you. Your girls are beautiful. Be bless
You’re my favorite person please don’t change .
Aw Hoda is such a sweet soul & deserves her family. 🙏💕
Hi 👋how are you doing?
They are both beautiful ❤️❤️..I remember when Haley came home 🏠 I was crying 😭..So happy for you.💕💖💞
I absolutely love adoption stories like this!!😁 🥰
I love Hoda ! I ran into her in Central Park and went over to her to say how I enjoyed her work on television. She was really friendly and charming.❤
I’m bawling! I ♥️you Hoda Kotb!
Even if Hoda has a nanny (along with lots of family assistance) to be raising a 5yr old and a 3yr at 58 yrs old is tremendous... Love knows no age boundaries; kudos to her. However, her ex-fiancée Joel, who's a few yrs older than she (they were quietly together for almost 10 yrs before she adopted Haley) probably canceled their wedding and moved on from their relationship because he (as a father and grandfather) may not have wanted to raise very young children all over again at this time in his latter years, he's still their legal father though so I'm sure those sweet little girls will always know him as a loving father :)
What a great segment , she’s a beautiful soul , so much insight
Thank you for sharing a glimps of your family.
What a beautiful story! God bless them all 💗
Hoda, you're an Angel.
She looks great for age. I wish I had my own little family too.❤
Hoda is so authentic! I am overjoyed that she decided to adopt!So many children in orphanages!
Because you are so loving what about a sheltered animal?
Thank you for sharing!
I don't get the whole age factor. 50 now a days is much different from back in the day. I see 20nyear Olds that are the epidemy of what is expected of a 50 year old. Changing the stereotype by leading is key for educating people. Case and point, Hoda"s mom looks amazing!
And what a difference parenting is , when maturity and growth is a factor. So many developed tools to help nurture a sound human being.
God bless you Hoda and girls , beautiful story
What a special family. I wonder if she's open to adopting an older child. There is such a need for that and given her age, I hope she would consider that.
The children are beautiful.🥰🥰🥰🥰
God Bless Hoda and her beautiful family . We love you 🥳..
Beautiful, you have a lot of love in your heart! 💕. Your mix of confidence & humility is lovely!
This lady is an angel, awesome
Love Hoda, she is so inspiring
Bless you for your beautiful heart! What a awesome story. They are sooo beautiful! You all are very happy😊amazing what you have done for them!! Remember there is no manual for bringing up children so try to go easy on yourself. 💕👏🏻🌟🧚🏻
Love Hoda - so genuine 💕
You are such an Amazing Awesome, ,Incredible,! I listen to this video and you are so patient, caring woman!! I feel you and see the love you show these little angels!! You look so happy! God Bless you and your family! Love this!❤
I just love Honda! She is a beacon of light and super sweet! ❤️❤️❤️

Super sisters. Love it!
You have a beautiful family ❤️ you were talking in the interview that you found a half eaten peach 🍑 by the fireplace I learned after becoming a mommy that you can’t stress over the small stuff the house is not pristine OH WELL THATS THE MOMMY LIFE and making memories are more important you just don’t know what the future will bring like our family we had a 7 yr old boy and a 6 yr old girl our son was playing flag football and he started to complain about his right knee hurting I called the sr he said if he keeps complaining bring him in he did so I made an appointment and daddy had to take mom was working they took X-rays and the next day I stopped at the dr office and he took me into his office he put the X-ray up and said THAT IS A TUMOR AND I DONT KNOW WHAT KIND I fell to my knees In one second our life changed 😭💔 moral of story do not take your kids for granted live everyday as though it is your last ❤️ our son was diagnosed with cancer osteosarcoma 😭💔😭😭😭😭

Adoptions are expensive in US . She is rich . She can afford it
I wonder how long it took her to adopt and if she was chosen from the girls birth mom
awwwww soso sweet🥰💖👍👍💐🦋🦋
Lovely family.
I miss when they called me Mommy.
I love her
Beautiful
I love my kids that way…
I am so glad that Hoda adopted those two girls that they really needed a mother but they really don't have a daddy because Joel and Hoda split up so therefore I wish hold of would find some one to marry and give these kids a daddy
No one should ever marry just to give a child a daddy. Besides, the girls *have* a daddy -Joel. Plenty of us have grown up with divorce and sone just fine with no ‘daddy issues.’ I’m a single by choice mom of an adopted girl, and she lacks nothing on her heart and soul. The biggest trauma I could create would be to cram some male into our perfect family to fit an outdated concept of what other unenlightened people have of what makes a family.
@@MiscreantRose I'm not saying that she needs to get married I'm just saying if she would have married Joel and then adopted the girls her family would have been complete this is the way the Lord would have wanted her to do that instead of adopting the kids and living with you without him being the biological father and husband her husband
No one wants at that age to be a daddy to a three year old. I think Hoda is very selfish. She did this for herself. These girls won’t have any parents when they’re 30. Joel saw the light and skipped out on this selfish self centered woman.
@@smargo7884 yeah I think Hoda is kind of selfish she wanted these kids before marriage and that's not the correct way to do things she should have married and then if she wanted kids they could have discussed adopting but now that Joe Austin whatever his name is have spent split up no he's not wanting these kids and I think that's why they did split up and it also worries me she probably won't never marry
i came here after whispering wish jimmy Kimmel 🤣🤣cause here father's name like my father's name
Beautiful girls
Bryant park....🕊🇺🇲💕
You all are blessed...🕊🇺🇲💕
Susan McComas ❤️
My dream is to adopt
I think you are awesome I am your greatest fan..
