I aspired to be a mother just as my mother was to me. I mean, Jake understands how significant this is to me.”

She added, “My aspiration was, I truly desire a family. I genuinely want a large family. I am one of four siblings,” Brown clarified. “He is also one of four. Therefore, it is certainly part of our plans, but, in my view, I don’t consider conceiving your own child to be fundamentally different from adopting.”
