"You gave me Life, and they (adopted parents) gave me A Life"....a lovely way to put it. As an adoptee (who met her birthmom before she died), I always cry at these moments. Thank you.

[@katiekat4457]

ML R I always cry at these moments too but I’m not adopted and had great parents. I seem to burst into tears faster for happy endings than I do for sad ones. Although sad ones stay on my mind longer. I am glad that you got to meet your birth mom before she passed.

[@annamariadenner2518]

She has such a beautiful voice. So happy to see she found someone to share her life with.

[@parileebijou6099]

This is one of the most heart warming, sweetest and thoughtful interviews I've ever had the pleasure to view. Kristin Chenoweth is the most precious individual to exist. I am such a fan it's ridiculous. I'm always looking for her in Broadway plays and music halls and one day... One day...I will have tickets to see her.

[@betsyregus5401]

I knowww shes fucking amazing!! So glad she was my last show before Covid hit

[@b.pur9981]

Kristen Chenoweth, very interesting story. I come from the same sort of situation. I was adopted as a baby. My biological mom was 16. My adopted parents were older and well established. Adopted mom a nurse. Adopted father an ordained minister. I definitely don’t have the gifts you do of singing, but when I met my biological mother it explained so much. She’s my identical twin only 16 years older. She said the same thing, can you forgive me, are you angry with me. The answer is I am absolutely not angry, I couldn’t have asked for a better life. I was terrible sick as a child, so having a mother as a nurse was beneficial. I was absolutely spoiled on birthdays and Christmas. Had a huge extended family. Personally I believe it was designed by God. I love your work, your voice is captivating. Godspeed Kristen.

[@katiekat4457]

Brad Purdie Love your story. Thank you for sharing it.

[@broadwaybrat1986]

B. Pur99 Thank you for sharing this story. I am not adopted, but I can imagine, how exiting and scary it must be, to meet your birth mother.

[@leif1075]

B. Pur Thank you for sharing your story. I hope you can sing just like her if you really want to!

[@verityjude2269]

woah, that’s basically my story, except i haven’t met my mom yet haha! mine was 16 too

[@lilpoet27]

I met Kristin ten years ago at a book signing at UCLA. Sooooo sweet and down to earth

[@alvinmedina7121]

Kristin is an amazing woman. she is just who you see here . kindness n love.

[@a32tl]

I'm certain Kristin wouldn't remember me but my family lived in Broken Arrow, OK for the year I happened to be in the sixth grade. Kristin was in my class. I wore a Christian themed t-shirt to school one day and she noticed it. At the end of the year, she told me to keep the faith and I would go far in life. I never forgot her words to me. Funny how little things/words like that stick with you for life.

[@angelaphillips1731]

There is seriously no one on the planet more sweet and beautiful inside and out than Kristen Chenoweth. She’s just…. the best; I mean, REALLY ❤️❤️

[@rr7firefly]

Two very amicable ladies. Our world is blessed to have them.

[@amazinggraciegurl]

That's so amazing that Kristin met her birth mom! I'm so happy for her, and I'm very glad that it was such a wonderful experience! I'm always hoping for the best for this incredible woman! 😊💖

[@kristinpeck4433]

I too was lucky enough to be given a life by my adopted parents. Oh how I wish I could just sit and talk to you Kristin about adoption and getting the opportunity to meet your birth mom❤❤❤❤

[@kathleen4376]

What a beautiful , caring, talented person ! Thank you for your vibrant , positive healing energy ! The world needs more people like you !

[@mattgwynlloyd]

What an inspiration and joy she Kristin is. She exudes kindness, understanding and love every time you see her and is unafraid to stand in her power and by her believes 💚💚💚

[@rebeccahancock7406]

She is just so full of life and love. Strong and respectfully. Amazing role model.

[@joannabratton5941]

I want to do it because I’m scared of it. Bravo, Kristin!

[@allenjones3130]

I had the privilege of seeing and hearing Kristin perform at my local theatre years ago, and she was fantastic!

[@suzanneschulz8479]

I'd love to meet her. She makes me feel alive.

[@Kathleen5429]

I'm just happy for Kristin all around and I loved seeing her new Hallmark movie with Scott Wolf. Just the best. Love you too Katie! xo

Thank God for mother’s that give life!

[@myknittingblog]

no apostrophe necessary. Thank God for people who help mothers and children stay together.

[@renellerk55]

We finally met our daughter's birth father last year. We thanked him for making such a brave and wonderful(for us) decision 35 years ago! His brothers and mom are now our family as well. In fact he never had more children, and he asked her to stand up with him this fall when he got married. We were invited too of course because "our" 4 year old granddaughter was the flower girl!

[@sharonstevek.6797]

She is awesome with the Mormon Choir! Wow Awesome. Ive never followed her but now I will. You just cants stop watching and listening to her throughout the PBS Program.

Always loved her... even before she was born💕

[@shru1014]

Beautiful woman beautiful heart, and beautiful voice

[@seanyates5769]

There’s usually a sad storyline with Adoption. However, in Kristin’s case, her birth mother was strong enough to know she couldn’t take care of her but also knew it’s not her place to not give her life.

[@iloveyoubebe]

She is super cute & kind. whatta lovely woman

[@timothyfloogle]

She is adorable

[@xhogun8578]

Such a beautiful soul

[@annapg.4626]

I wish I could meet my birth parents

Bia rio same :/

[@ellaalbarracin233]

When she was in high school, Kristin was on the dance team. She made her schools Pom Squad yes that’s what you call a dance team she made the dance team she told me I was a dancer growing Yes, her parents aren’t her real parents. She was adopted as a baby she obviously got her musical talent from her real parents her biological parents.

[@MattWeisherComposer]

3:32 I would have thought that was Linda Ronstadt. Both beautiful women. Very different, skilled voices.

I am so triggered with how Katie said Broken Arrow. Being from Tulsa, Oklahoma and knowing the Broken Arrow area this triggered me so much.

[@vivet88]

💝💝💝

[@llcooljay520]

Kristin, I think you would help a lot of people if you would share your adoption story. This is a pain and a wound a LOT of people in our society have.

[@Super-jf9qv]

We are supposed to love all fellow man or women or and all our neighbors. If so wrong to love or respect someone's choices or who they truly are on the inside. Well not me. If the bible judges us for being loving, and compationit well let God judge me, not my fellow mankind. I support you all the way. 🇨🇦👍❤️

[@tthom2459]

AMEN! !

[@happydays0220]

[@chop3625]

Granny working from home😁

[@lindaf4836]

Did her real mom sing or not, or her bio dad? We want to know. USUALLY it is inherited, right? Or, is there anyone you all know where NO relatives could carry a tune in a bucket but the BLOOD kid knocked your socks off with a voice? I doubt it!

[@sgtmian]

her adoptive mom is her real mom.

[@guinnberger9356]

*Linda F* Well, I was the only one among my siblings who could sing harmony. Blood kin we were absolutely, but the others had tin ears. I couldn't have loved them more than I did, but it would have been _sooooooo_ much fun if we could have sung together as children, like the Lennon Sisters (or just a rinky-dink group of street corner doo-wop singers).

[@matzohgirl]

Linda F I think musical talent is inherited but must be nurtured. She’s such a sweet woman.

[@verityjude2269]

Her dad was musical

[@JulianaBlewett]

I'm glad her story turned out so well. Women still need the right to choose, though.

[@my.brooklyn.flora.forestbr7351]

God asks us to love one another, the way he loves us, adoption, dotty, maybe singing myself to sleep! What are the odds, lose everything, but gain some empathy. Molnar has great men's picks on Wake up Caller. 4floraBrooklyn

[@leif1075]

Ouch why does she say her parents can't sing lol...

[@codename495]

Because lying is a sin Leif.

[@jeffreyzeiss1326]

She can't have it both ways that would be considered a cop-out either she follows scripture or she does not. The Bible is very specific Leviticus 18:22 for example

[@tthom2459]

Fuck OFF! don't impose your beliefs on others. If that's what you choose to believe . . . then bully for you. I know your little pea brain can't comprehend . . . . but your God created gay and lesbians too . . . also 'in his own image' whatever the hell that means. So just Go AWAY!

[@jamespembleton2666]

Makes me wonder what god she is honoring. It certainly is not seem to be the God of the Bible.

[@tthom2459]

stop cherry picking scripture. How bout shrimp eaters? pork eaters? divorcees? women who cut their hair?
