Connie Britton Shares Reason She Wanted to Adopt (Exclusive) ...Saudi Arabia

News by : (Parade) -

In Parade's March 16 cover story, the Emmy-nominated actress, who adopted her son Eyob (nicknamed "Yoby") from Ethiopia in 2011, says she "always wanted to be a mom." 

She first considered adoption after traveling to Ethiopia in the early 2000s to work on a documentary about the country’s orphan population (for various reasons, the doc never came to fruition). Then at a certain point, she had to ask herself, “What am I waiting for?” She added, “I knew that I hadn't achieved the kind of partnership that I was looking for to have a spouse and a child together. And so I thought, ‘This is the time, I'm going to start the adoption process.’"

Shortly after becoming a single mother, Britton, then 45, moved from California to Tennessee to shoot the show Nashville. "I didn't know a soul,” she remembered. “[I] started working 16-hour days, 18-hour days, and had this little baby at home and was like, ‘Ahhhh.’ It was kind of ‘crisis mode’ a little bit."
