Just get to the top,’ ” she continued. “It was fun to share that with her.”<\/p>\n The star opened up to PEOPLE in 2018 about her\u00a0decision to adopt<\/a>\u00a0her two daughters and shared that adoption was always a top priority for her.

It was always my first.”<\/p>\n Read the original article on People<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
