On the Armchair Expert podcast, Jennifer Aniston spoke openly for the first time about her decision not to pursue guardianship of an adopted child. During the long period when she was trying to conceive, people frequently asked why she hadn’t adopted from an orphanage. She revealed that she had a clear, personal reason for that choice.
“I wanted there to be my DNA in that little person. That was the only option for me — even if some consider it selfish,” Aniston emphasized.
She went on to say that, with time, she came to accept her infertility.
Earlier, in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the Friends star had candidly discussed the health issues that ultimately prevented her from experiencing motherhood.
