Vardalos opened up about her struggle to get pregnant in a heartbreaking interview with People (via Today). She opened up about the nine-year process that went into becoming a parent. "It was a sad process for me to become a mom, and a long process," she added, "I felt so embarrassed that I couldn't have a biological child."
She shared in another People interview that she was surprised with how difficult the process was to have a child. "Like most women, I thought it would be easy once I decided to start a family," she shared. "I was surprised that Mother Nature kept poking me in the eye, saying, 'Nope, nope, nope.'"
However, Vardalos' dream of becoming a mother came true. She chose to adopt a child. Her daughter, who was three years old when she met her, was living in foster care her entire life. "The first thing I did was whisper in her ear, 'I will always take care of you,'" Vardalos gushed to the publication.
