During an exclusive interview with People, the 54-year-old confessed that she would never close the door to a third adoption, especially because she was raised in a family with thee children.

According to Kotb, she wasn't sure that her boyfriend, Joel Schiffman, would want to adopt another child after getting Haley in 2017, but everything worked out for the best.

THE RIGHT PERSON BY HER SIDE

The host explained that, having already a grown-up daughter and a brand-new job, Schiffman would probably not want another baby, but that he cried once they put Hope in his arms.

Kotb said:

“One thing I do pretty well in life is I pick great people. I picked him, he picked me. I thought to myself, in that moment, that’s everything, that’s it.”

BOUNCING BACK FROM CANCER

According to the proud mother-of-two, each time she brought one of her daughters home, her "heart expanded," and now they have grown even tighter as a family.

Unfortunately, like many women around the world, Kotb was unable to bring a child into the world following a fierce battle with breast cancer in 2007, which left her believing that she would never become a mother.
