She added: “Kids are funny they ask questions. Haley holds my skin up to her skin and says ‘Am I darker than you momma? What about Hopey, is she darker than me?’
“We kind of make jokes about it but you want to preserve where they are from so they remember. I feel if you don’t know your identity, how are you going to live your life? “You’ve got to figure out a way to navigate.”
Hoda adopted her two daughters with her ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman.
