Jennifer Aniston reveals reason for not adopting despite infertility

Jennifer Aniston recently got candid as she opened up about why she never went for adoption despite the infertility issues she suffers from.

In a podcast, the FRIENDS star said that she’s found peace after struggling for fertility for years.

Jennifer, shared insights about undergoing IVF and getting the eggs frozen. “It’s so peaceful. But I will say there’s a point where it’s like out of my control. There’s literally nothing I can do about it,” she said.

Aniston admitted that she's still not open to adopting kids and turns down such suggestions.

“I don’t want to adopt,” she explained. “I want my own DNA in a little person. That’s the only way—selfish or not, whatever that is—I’ve wanted it.”

The actress added that the topic is still emotional and that she sometimes catches herself imagining what could have been. “There have been moments where I’ve met someone and thought, ‘We would have made some good kids,’” she said. “But that passes within three seconds.”

Aniston described how, over time, the longing fades into acceptance. “You romanticise it because it’s out of your control,” she reflected. “It just wasn’t in the plan, whatever the plan was.”
