Kotb recently opened up about life with her two daughters for PEOPLE’s Family Issue.
For the journalist,building her life around her childrenhas brought a greater joy than she could have imagined.
“Family to me is everything— and having one of my own is something I never thought I’d have,” said Kotb, who first became a mother through adoption in 2017 at age 52 after a breast cancer battle and a subsequent divorce left her assuming motherhood wasn’t in the cards.

“I always imagined family as my mom, my dad, my brother, my sister,” she explained. “I envisioned it that way until I was 50. Imagine someone saying, ‘Hey, guess what? You’re actually going to have a wholeotherfamily.’ It still surprises me! It delights me to know that I have Haley and Hope.”
“It’s definitely in the universe for me,” she shared. “I feel like whatever is meant to be is meant to be. But I know a few things. I have love and time, and we have an open space. Every time I see a child who needs something or read about a child, my heart’s breaking. I’m like, I know if we could invite them into our home just what it would mean. Not just for the child, but for us.”
