Jennifer Aniston<\/strong><\/a> found herself at the center of some harsh criticism after making comments on why she chose not to adopt children.<\/p>\n During her appearance on the October 20 Wondery+ early access episode of Armchair Expert<\/em><\/a>, Aniston, 56, was asked if she had \u201cfound peace\u201d with her decision to not have children.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s so peaceful,\u201d Aniston replied. \u201cBut I will say there\u2019s a point where it\u2019s, like, out of my control. There\u2019s literally nothing I can do about it.\u201d<\/p>\n The Morning Show<\/em> star continued, \u201cWhen people say, \u2018But you can adopt,\u2019 I don\u2019t want to adopt. I want my own DNA in a little person. That\u2019s the only way, selfish or not, whatever that is, I\u2019ve wanted it.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans were divided on Aniston\u2019s opinion with one person writing on Reddit<\/a>, \u201cThis is a gross take imo, especially from someone who wants and is well off enough to adopt multiple children.\u201d<\/p>\n Another added, \u201cOof. She really shouldn\u2019t have said anything at all.\u201d<\/p>\n However, there were plenty of people who applauded the Friends<\/em> alum for her honesty regarding adoption.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s self centered to want your own biological kids,\u201d one Redditor wrote. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing altruistic about adoption, unless you\u2019re talking about adopting an older child with behavioral problems.\u201d<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time the subject of Aniston not having children has become a topic of conversation, and she\u2019s been open about her struggle with infertility<\/a>. In December 2022, she told Allure<\/em> that her journey to have children was \u201cchallenging.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/staging.starmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/jennifer-aniston-03-scaled.jpg\")
