Hoda Kotb Opens Up About Adoption & How Daughter Hope Inspired New Children's Book

"It's about the kids who see the sunny side, or the kids who want to." Hoda Kotb opens up about adopting her two daughters, and shares how her "sunny side" 5-year-old Hope inspired her new children's book "Hope Is A Rainbow." Hoda also praises Kelly for writing a song for her last children's book "I've Loved You Since Forever" so quickly, and admits she's now feeling the pressure to write a children's book for her oldest daughter, Haley. Hoda also dishes on waking up at 3am every day for "TODAY," and shares advice she's learned on her podcast "Making Space with Hoda Kotb."

Also, Hoda is just pure JOY. She is always so happy and light and positive and motivational. She exudes love. It's beautiful. Such a rarity in today's world.

Kelly followed her heart and started over on her own terms

Hoda Kotb is such a beautiful presence. I’m suffering extreme depression but she and Kelly make it more….. I don’t even know. Survivable.

“I mighta been medicated” 😂😂😂 same sis same 😂😂😂

This was amazing! I’m a grandma now, but it really made me think about being ‘present’ and how fast time flies when you are so busy with life, careers, growing children, spouse, etc. to take that time to be present in the moment! So true! Also, the funniest thing ever said by two amazing talk show hosts at the very end….both said, I’m bad at small talk….? What? Lol!

[nellyc]

💯 Kelly! I’m not as busy as Kelly and I feel the same! Times have changed no rush to get into another relationship!

Hoda is so sweet. Two sweet people. Good visit.

Kelly does NOT receive compliments well enough as she should. I feel like she shuts down when someone compliments her or when emotions get too real. Just me? I dunno. I could sense it when Hoda was praising Kelly and her move to NYC and Kelly was like "Ahh, emotions, too real, must deflect!" LOL

[bkirstie]

i was supposed to go to this show tomorrow 😢

[annmahoneyleslie]

No kidding Kelly. Hoda gives this response every time…she is great. ❤️

[katelynjohnson]

I love Hoda so much I could cry! I want to be more like her!

[zonigurl]

I loved the conversation but I couldn't stop staring at Kelly's shoes!!! Omg super cute. I'd break every bone in my body wearing them. 😂

[vitakuvakina]

I wanna be Hoda when I grow up and I'm 36 now... )))

[fdlsfdls]

I’m with Kelly on this one, if you have little kids especially stay away from weirdos

[jsc]

I have to say it is very hard to find someone as phony as Hoda Kotb. Every time you think maybe it's not a good assessment and then she outdoes her phoniness

[shookdrm.d.]
