Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi instantly knew baby daughter was ‘their girl’
During her appearance on Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast, Millie Bobby Brown talked about her adoption process. She also opened up about the “magical phone call” that confirmed that their baby was coming home. At one point during the adoption process, she had a conversation with another mother who was adopting a baby.
Brown told Shetty, “We were talking to someone, another adoptive mother, and it’s like, there are two ways to have a baby, one through your stomach and one through your heart, and my girl was through my heart.” She added, “You know, it was just the most magical phone call, and no questions asked, I knew we had found our baby, and she found us.”
Elaborating on the phone call, the “Enola Holmes” star said, “Getting the call, I mean, I will never forget it. It was the most surreal feeling, and yet we both knew in that moment, like that was, that we had found each other…Like, oh my goodness, this is our girl, 100%, no doubt.”
When asked if they had recorded the phone call, she revealed that they had not. She explained, “No, and I think there’s something so special about it because my whole life’s recorded…My husband and I will never forget those words, where we were, what we were doing, the feeling.”
Brown highlighted, “I think in so many ways, that is why that shouldn’t be recorded. It’s like almost like you had to be there.” Furthermore, she described the process as “long” and “thorough,” but “rightfully so.”
