Sunny Leone has recently opened up about her journey to motherhood, revealing details about her decision to use surrogacy and adoption to build her family. The actress, who is a mother to three children, daughter Nisha, who was adopted in 2017, and twin sons Noah and Asher, born via surrogacy in 2018, shared her reasons for choosing these paths and the financial aspects involved.

In a recent interview, Sunny Leone disclosed that she opted for surrogacy because she "didn't want to carry kids". She also revealed that the surrogate mother received a significant payment, which she used to build a house and fund a lavish wedding. The actress and entrepreneur made the revelations during a podcast.

Leone explained that she and her husband, Daniel Weber, had initially planned to adopt a child. While they were in the process of adopting, they also explored in vitro fertilization (IVF). The couple adopted Nisha in 2017. Shortly after, they discovered that their surrogacy journey would result in twin boys.

Speaking about her surrogacy experience, Leone shared that it was "really heartbreaking" when the process wasn't initially going as planned. She revealed that they had six eggs, four girls and two boys, but the girls "didn't turn into a baby". Despite the emotional challenges, the couple persevered and were overjoyed to welcome their twin sons into the world.

Leone has also addressed the perceptions surrounding surrogacy and adoption, noting that some people believe these methods don't foster the same motherly feelings as giving birth. However, she emphasized that she loves all her children equally, regardless of how they came into her life. "I don't have that feeling that, okay I want to give birth and would love that child more or less. So, I love all my children the same,” Leone stated.

In past interviews, Leone has spoken about why she chose surrogacy and adoption, saying she wanted to continue working. "For me, I chose surrogacy and I chose adoption because I wanted to keep going and I wanted to keep working," she said. "That was my personal choice. I thought I was going to have one but I had three. I wouldn't change anything". She also believes that being a working mother makes her a better parent. "I believe that I'm a better mother if I'm working and providing for my children than if I'm a stay-at-home mother," she explained. "I feel that I'm a better person, I'm a better mother, I am a better human being working than not working".
