Colleen Ballinger Has Some Thoughts About Adopting A Baby

Writer Isabella Bartlett

In a December 2020 video entitled "We Want To Adopt A Child," Colleen Ballinger revealed that she was in the research stages of trying to figure out whether she and husband Eric Stocklin will begin the process of adopting a baby. The couple previously welcomed their son, Flynn, in December 2018. In an interview with People at the time, the Miranda Sings creator admitted that her pregnancy was difficult, saying, "I feel like people don't talk enough about how hard it is ... I've been very, very sick — just grumpy and moody." 

So, it seems the YouTube star might be trying to avoid going through all that again. Explaining that being a mother is her "favorite thing in the world" in her video, Ballinger added, "I desperately want more children. If I had an easier pregnancy, I would've already had like two more kids by now." Understandably, since she had such a tough time actually carrying a child, she isn't sure she could put her body through it again. 

One of Stocklin's brothers is adopted, so the couple is familiar with the process. However, Ballinger admitted to requiring more education on the "nitty-gritty" herself, and even asked fans for advice. "Obviously, there are a million differences between a birth through my body and an adoption," she said, adding, "One thing remains the same, and it is that I will love the child unconditionally no matter how it becomes my child."
