She goes on to share a lesson someone once told her, “If you have the love, the space, the time and you can take care of a child who needs it, who might otherwise have a life that is, you know, not great, Why wouldn’t you?"

“So I have not closed the door,” Kotb reveals, “because I think life is really interesting.”

She adds, “I always think that when you add something to your family, when you have a new family member, you know, for some people, when you have a pet, it enriches it all. Your kids learn more. They are more. They’re better. Like I think you’re making a better whole. And why not have more great goodness, if possible.”
