Tis the season to feel loved! Kristin Chenoweth shared some touching words via a post on her WhoSay account on Friday, Nov. 20, in honor of National Adoption Day, recounting her experience growing up with adoptive parents.
Ive always known that I was adopted, she began the post. It was never a secret or held from me.
The Muppets star, 47, added that her parents, who adopted her just one week after she was born, always told her that she was not abandoned, but chosen.

Growing up, my parents explained my adoption by telling me, We chose you. It was a wonderful way to put it to an adopted child. And I think its true. An adoption is a full-circle blessing.
Chenoweth added that she holds no ill-will against her birth mother, whom shes never met, because the actress understands that her mother loved her so much that she wanted to give her baby a better life.
Sometimes people cant take care of that baby just yet. (And their circumstances might change in 15 years), the actress explained. But what a gift they are giving to both that child and the family who wants to adopt.
Chenoweth then addressed other adopted children, encouraging them to remember what a blessing it was to be in their situation.

We werent abandoned; we were chosen, she wrote. We were given a chance. Im not saying its not hard or that its easy for people to understand. But it really isnt for the world to understand; its for the people who are involved.
The actress shared several photos of herself with her adoptive parents, Jerry and Junie Chenoweth, and expressed her thanks.
