Recently, Kotb opened up abouther adoption processon an episode ofJust B with Bethenny Frankel, where she talked about worrying she’d run out of time for motherhood.
“I think when you realize that that wasn’t meant for you, or you think that at least initially, it’s a terrifying part of life because you have to face it,” she said. “I remember never saying out loud that I wanted kids, never, because it was too late.”
“For 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.”
“I don’t know what birth feels like, and I bet it was amazing, but this was really close,” she said through tears. “I remember that feeling like it was yesterday.”
