It’s only semi-secret that the next season of Millionaire Matchmaker is flipping the tables on me and my team is setting me up on dates to find my perfect mate. I want to focus on me. I want to have a family. You guys are the first to know: I have a new boyfriend, and we’ve discussed the adoption. It’s a possibility. It’s not 100 percent. Nothing is 100 percent.
Why I want to adopt
As any adoptive parents already know, this is going to be a process for me and it won’t happen overnight. I have to investigate it. I have lawyers I’m checking into.
And adoption itself hits very close to home for me. I’m adopted myself, and I don’t like the fact that I never knew my biological parents. My sister did. She was lucky. Nobody will tell me anything, so we are working with a private investigator on Millionaire Matchmaker Season 6 and I’m searching.
About the sex: I would especially love to have a son. Not that I wouldn’t love a girl to dress up, but I would especially love to have a son so I can teach him how to be a gentlemen. But of course, the most important thing to me is to have a healthy child.
Another biggie: I want someone to leave my business to — my legacy, if you will. That’s one of the main reasons I want to have a child. If I got lucky and had a daughter who loved this business as much as I do, that would be great.
Finding balance
People are always asking mothers, “How do you manage a busy life and being a mom?” I’m a juggler. I’m a double Gemini. I’m not saying I won’t have a nanny, but I’ll make it work just like any other working mom. I get shit done. Everyone who knows me knows that.
This is also why I’ve never wanted to adopt alone — so when I did leave, my husband would be there with our kid. I think it’s important they go to school and they nourish their hobbies and interests. They should have balance and routine. Now that I have a man in my life and we’ve unofficially put the idea on the table, I’m excited for the possibility. Like I said, nothing is 100 percent.
I’ve also said that I want to adopt from the states. I have nothing against Angelina and Madonna . My hat is off to them. They have inspired me to adopt every day. I’m really in awe of them. I just feel an affinity for a child who is starting to understand the world without a mom or a dad. It breaks my heart. There are so many children in America who don’t have homes because they’re not babies. Once they get to ages 3 and up, nobody wants them.
I’d love to have a big family but I don’t know if it’s possible at my age. David, the man in my life, would make me a step mom… I love that.
I had no idea Patti was adopted! I’m an adoptive parent and wish Patti the best as she attempts to meet her bio family and possibly begins the adoption process to create her own family.
I think it is very nice that Patti is adoping in America
were their are so many children with out parents
and homes. I can’t wait for the new season of
your show so I can see your exciting journey.
Congratulations Patty we watch your show and love it,we adopted a 5 year old beautiful girl 21 years ago and couldn’t be more happy about our decision.Blessings upon Blessings
Nothing is ever 100%, but you gotta follow your heart! Congrats to you! You will make a wonderful mom and will be well on your way this summer.
Bright Blessings.
Tiff, thank you for the kind messages. We will continue to bring you up to date information so you can stay in touch with all the wonderful happenings.
WOW adoption is huge. I say this because I have adopted. It is a wonderful and HARD process. I think it is so great Mazel Tov to you
Any advice that you may have Ronnie?
Amazing story! I’d love to say that I’m praying for Patti and David, but the truth is… they will be the answered prayer in this family.
Just curious to know if that hand print belongs to Patti or if it is a stock photo. Currently studying scientific hand analysis and there are some pretty rare markings (double, possibly triple, heart line makes me think it could belong to Patti or someone on her staff).
It is just a stock image, however that is quit a talent you have. Do you read palms often for trade, or just for fun?
It’s very possible your parents do not want to be found. Don’t take that personally if so. It’s painful to put a child up for adoption. Many do it without wanting to, but know it is for the best. Know that what you might think you’ll find or are searching for may not turn out how you like or want. You will like seeing how it feels to be around people who look like you, but be ready and willing to accept what you find and do not find.
GREAT POST msn!! It can be very painful if the biological mom or dad now had other kids and really don’t want them to know too much about placing a child for adoption.It’s hard on those kids to accept the new “sibling” (think if you know anyone where dad had an affair but stays married,and now they have to accept new baby into their “family”). There is a reason nobody wants to tell you anything Patti. I don’t fault any of your for your searches in any way, but I will tell you it DOES HURT your adoptive parents, even if they swear it does not. Good advice from msn to be prepared that what you find likely will NOT be as good as it seems in the long run. I do hope you find them if they indeed agree to be found by you. Birthmoms, it is OK to want or to NOT want to be found. Whatever you decide we will live with and thank you for giving the gift of a child to a loving family.
Patti,
I`m so excited for you! You are a beautiful woman with a kind open heart and lot`s of love to share. How do I know that? First of all, I`ve always felt a strong connection to you, and next thing I know – you are Gemini like myself(May 30). Moreover, I was shocked watching you interview where you explained why you have chosen the matching business. I HAVE the same ability that comes from within, and the same passion for matching. Every time I see you, I know exactly how you feel.
I`m, glad you found your love and ready to have a kid. It`s an amazing journey to happiness. I`m happy for you! And for David. I believe you are going to be the best mom ever. Hope everything will go smoothly with the adoption.
P.S. If you ever consider to open an office in Chicago I would LOVE to help you, learn from you and be the best partner ever! ( I`ve should of suggest this long time ago
Love you, Patti
ALL THE BEST
I am happy that you want to adopt. I was adopted too and also want to adopt. Many children need a good home like the one I’m sure you will provide. Good luck to you!
Patti, what an amazing and inspirational person you are. I wish you all the best with your journey of adopting and child and finding your biological parents. Your passion for all aspects of your life is contagious. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Lots of love. Angela.
I think it’s wonderful you are going to adopt. I like to adopt myself. I’ve had a few children; some I know, some I don’t. If possible, I would like to adopt mexican-negroe girl or boy baby. Is there any adoption agencies you know of in Illinois that has this specification. Thanks.
