\u201cEvery time I was at home and I was five or six years old, my parents were like, \u2018You had your baby dolls.\u2019 They were all adopted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not because I don\u2019t want [to give birth]. Hopefully one day that\u2019s in my future, but for me, adoption was always a part of my future,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
