“I don’t need a day!”
I melt!
that was just the little bit to bring tears to your eyes
She gives me hope that I can be a mom still. There is a baby out there who needs the love I have to give.
I'm an adoptive parent...it's the best thing ever!
Update?!
i guess it's kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to stream newly released movies online ?
I have adopted 7. I ended up pregnant after my first 2 after 8 years of infertility. That's my bonus kid. But went on to adopt 5 more. My last 2 I was 40. They are 5 months apart and it's the youngests birthday today! She is 6 now. The last 5 were as a single mom. Here at 46, I'm just thinking of starting the journey again. You can be a mom. It's been the best experience and some of the birth parents are my closest friends. You inherit extra family too. 😀
Seriously god bless Hoda. She beat cancer, got a new amazing job, and has a baby
YES! and...a year+ ANOTHER baby girl! Although I am a big believer in ...we the public, dont KNOW these "famous" people. Who they really are...I truly believe Hoda IS how she puts herself out there on our screens. A beautiful, happy, caring soul who deserves all the joy she has finally received. For many blessings to keep coming! xx

My husband and I adopted our daughter...I was 43...11 years ago. She's our one and only and wouldn't change a thing!!
Thank you for that. I am 41 now want by 45.
My brother and I were both adopted from Russia when we were young. He's 20, and I'm 23 now, and he's my best friend. Our parents are the best!! Thanks for sharing Hoda's story.
That's awesome..maybe you have a story that will inspire.....
all the best to Hoda, she looks amazing and happy
Hoda deserves all the happiness in the world , she’s an amazing woman inside and out.
“I don’t know how they gave you a baby” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 GOD I LOVE ELLEN SO MUCH
I was wondering how they gave her a baby too because Hoda and Kathy Lee have the best job ever. Laugh and drink wine all day. I want that job.
Adoption is such an amazing thing
Lauren Poland talk to your parents lm sure they feel the same.lm in China now the country is beautiful
As an adoptee I feel really sad for you that your parents didn't take you back to visit China at least once. My adoptive mom thinks all adoptive parent should have to learn the language and culture of their adopted child's background. They should have taken you to visit China now and then. It is your roots. I hope you take some Chinese language classes, cook Chinese food. I mean you're as American as anyone else, but you also are Chinese and that bilingual and bicultural should be explored and celebrated. I really hope you can go sometime. :) I also hope the Chinese government and Chinese society starts treating 2nd and 3rd born babies and girls better so that we end the extreme sexism and so that all children in China get their huzou.
Megan, unfortunately, it's WAY too expensive to go. They were busy working so I could go to college. But, I grew up learning about Chinese culture and learning Chinese words. I have not lost my connection to China.
Oh good! They sound like really nice parents. :) Actually, a funny story for you. My neighbor half way down the street his wife his Chinese and his son is half Chinese half White. She is so nice. The parents from Beijing live with them. Really, really kind elderly people. The grandma knows a few words in English. Next door my neighbour's son married a woman from China and they adopted a girl from China. Anyway, I'm happy you know your cultures. I think us adoptees deserve something like the Jewish youth have Hillel to go back to Israel, international adoptees deserve something where they get a free 2 week trip to their country of origin. Anyway, I am totally slacking and have a lot of work to do. Totally totally slacking.
Hoda jst adopted her 2nd child (Hope Catherine) she's a remarkable woman
I'm extremely happy for Hoda and her daughter, I know she will be loved so much ❤
So adorable. Such a beautiful story that gives such hope to anyone who didn't have children or marry in their early years. All the greatest health, joy and blessing to you and your little bundle of joy.
This warmed my heart and reminded me how much I have always wanted to adopt a child, she has such love for her little one ☺️
so inspired, love them both. I'm 50 this year and have wanted a child for many years. I need to do it soon.
Jarvis DuBois I wish you the best of luck ❤️
Then you should have it done it 10 plus years ago. You're too old at 50. Absolutely selfish to decide you "need" a child like they're a handbag. You're 50 and going to retire in 15 years and any child you adopt will be off to college when you're about 70. It's disgusting to think about having a child at your age.
Vi W that’s a disgusting comment. Age has absolutely no effect on one’s ability to be a mother. Full stop. Even if you’re ridiculous and insensitive argument about being 70 when the child goes off to college held any weight at one point, it surely doesn’t now. People are living well into their eighties and nineties and they maintain the capacity to love and empathize like all parents until they die. This person’s desire to have a child should be respected as it’s obviously something they want very much. My mum was incredibly young when she started having children and was thirty when she had me, her fifth child, and by your logic, she should have been a great mother. Wrong. Age has nothing to do with one’s ability to be a mother, in fact, I would argue that my mother’s lack of patience from her youth is what made her such a difficult woman to be raised by. I think you owe this person an apology.
thank you kingjojo and Freya for your comments/good words. My initial comment was not to elicit any unwanted pushback but I realize this is the nature of so many folks online. sending Vi W good energy and whatever she/he has going on in their life.
@@vaw796 you are simple you could get an older child etc.
Hoda makes me cry everyday!! It's clear how much she loves her daughter. It's good to remember that not all adoptees experience this. I don't want to be as harsh as I am on the topic of adoptees as I normally am. I think people should remember it's not always so rosey and loving.
Everytime I hear this story I cry. You deserve this happiness. You are a sweet, kind and generous person. Can't wait for your Wedding day! 💐💕
Oh so sweet. She seemed genuinely so happy to be a mom. I loved this video. True love. Congratulations on your Beautiful girl
What a beautiful story. What a beautiful child. Hoda is an amazing mother!

The best part was that everybody was expecting a male to take over Matt and then they chose her and nobody expected it it would be a woman.
This is inspiring; never too late...everyone should consider adoption
she will be 72 when shes 20
@@wade2bosh And she’s very rich and will probably live well into her 90s. I don’t see a problem.
Thax u so much for adopting 💖💖

That's amazing story
Her baby is so adorable! Side note, I love when Ellen scares Andy
Adorable ♥️
My mom had me and my twin at 47. Having older parents is a blessing. Can also be a curse because I won't have my mom till I'm 50
McKayla Dill u never know I wish her a long life ❤inchallah
McKayla Dill I wasn't adopted and was a child of younger parents, but I still lost my mom when I was twenty, there are no guarantees in life dear.😘
McKayla Dill maybe you will, who knows.
Doesn't make much of a difference, anyone can lose a parent at any age. Just make the most of your family regardless of age
BestFreinds #spreadlove same mom had me at 39.
congrats hoda!
Hoda looks so good at age 53
Her hair color is beautiful 💕❤️💕❤️💕
Congrats Hoda!
My ONE wish is that more people would ADOPT--thank you Hoda. In 1989 my son came home from So. Korea. One year later our Adoption Agency called to inform up that the same parents--just had a baby girl and wondered if we would consider adopting her. I didn't even have to "think about it"---HECK YEAH!! She arrived home 3 months later--and their bond was "LOCKED ON" the minute we brought her in the door. The Universe aligned to bring my family together. Please consider adopting a little one who needs love. Blessings, Chelsea
I'm glad to hear that a child has a chance in life. Individual circumstances are different and we shouldn't be so quick to judge. I notice some folks were wondering why the bio family didn't step in. The fact is maybe no one knew. I can speak on this because it happen to me. I was born and then given to the system right after birth and after 50 some yrs she still didn't want to connect with me, she knew where I was etc. I had to track her down and the rest was history. Please don't judge folks and all adoptions aren't bad. Now if we're talking about the foster care system that is totally different. Once again I'm glad I had a chance at life, but I also had issues growing up knowing I didn't know my blood line. I use all those negative thoughts and wrote a book. If you are interested in learning about my journey both positive and negative checkout "Living My Shadows: Dreams Do Come True. It can be found on amazon.com
Haley is so adorable
Lol hoda is so funny. Always full of laughs. 😄😄😄
I want to get on the Ellen show!!
How awesome
Beautiful
Fantastic!!💜💗💋
WHY IN THE NAME OF GOD WOULD SOMEONE DISLIKE THIS VIDEO? i mean, idk!
because they are an adult adoptee or they were forced to surrender a child or they are both.

@@JenniferFahlsing I know lots of very happy adult adoptees who would be touched to watch this video.
Congratulations Hoda
Congrats Hoda
Crying 💕
I love Hoda 😭
Kayla Gray me too she actually brings a lot of things to the Today Show every morning unlike some of the rest of them.
❤️❤️❤️ love wins ☺️
Amazing
i love the new outro with andy so much
Oh please..... here to the negative comments about her age!!!! God has a reason for everything!!! Muahhhh best wishes to hide and her force baby girllll😘😘 geez she is sooo cute
I remember when she did real news in New Orleans. Because New Orlean has a large Creole Black community I always thought she was Creole but she’s actually Egyptian. This is what a real Egyptian looks like. Her hair has come a long way because it’s on point.
All I see is a precious child who has lost her family. I grieve for her mother
From Jordan I love you soooooo much Ellen
ELlen I know your birthdays in 3 days❤️💐😊much love and enjoy!!! Happy birthday. Just in case I forget,,lol
Aww❤️❤️❤️
Hoda CONGRATS
