      I hated being adopted, looking and feeling different from my adopting family. I never felt "chosen." I felt abandoned.

    Hoda.
    God bless you with your two little gifts.
    I pray that God will keep on blessing you in every way.
    And I pray that God will bless you with a prince after God's own heart because you deserve the best.
    Keep smiling and keep your head up.
    I pray that God will bless you with a little boy.
    You are in deed such a loving mom

  • @prettybrowneyes1990
    @prettybrowneyes1990 2 роки тому +5

    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 :)

  • @teracoffin6116
    @teracoffin6116 2 роки тому +6

    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.
