From Auntie Loni to Momma Loni? Loni Love Says She is Considering Adoption (Video)

If at anytime you watched The Real, then you know a nickname for co-host Loni Love is Auntie Loni. Love doesn’t have any children of her own (by her choice), and has been good with being an auntie. Now, she revealed she’s considering adoption.

In a segment for The Real, Love spoke on considering adoption. They were speaking of the story regarding 5-year-old Michael Orlando Clark Jr. bringing his kindergarten class to his adoption ceremony. Love revealed that while she is thinking about it, she’s not taking it likely.

“The average of adoption is like 7… I’ve been so blessed, I’m thinking about adopting an older child.”

Love also went on to say that even while she’s in a relationship, this choice is on her. “I would be the Angelina Jolie in this. Angelina Jolie adopted her kids on her own…Can you imagine going from auntie Loni to Mommy Loni?”
