How is Morgan Radford embracing her motherhood journey?
Morgan is experiencing her motherhood journey for the first time. She shares glimpses into her life after the arrival of her little one. The actress expressed,
“Adelana’s days are filled with made-up nursery rhymes sung to her by her father, sweet baby babble while she dreams, and endless kisses from her four grandparents who are spoiling her with tenderness (and their speed of diaper changes, which far exceeds that of her first-time parents!),”
Adding to that, she said,
“You always hear people describe how they didn’t know a love like this existed before their little ones — and now I get it: it is truly the purest, most steady, untouched terrain of human love that is possible.”

Morgan also shared the baby news in a joint Instagram post sharing a series of photos of their newborn.
