AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Farrah Abraham intends to adopt a child.
The 24-year-old reality star revealed as much to OK! magazine last week, saying she's presently in the "process of approval." Abraham is already mother to 6-year-old daughter Sophia with late ex-boyfriend Derek Underwood.
"Sophia is in the right frame of mind and is very supportive as well," the star said. "She is very open and accepting to understanding that someone else had other parents, and we would be their second parent and be a loving family to them."
"I'm happy to confirm I'm moving forward in my adoption process," she added to Us Weekly on Monday. "This means I will be making some changes in my career to welcome a new addition to my family. Very excited, and this feels so right. I'm very blessed for this opportunity."
Abraham posted a video the same day to "share some of [her] wisdom for coping through grief through the holidays." Underwood died Dec. 28, 2008, two months before Sophia's birth, and the reality star has since dated Daniel Alvarez and Simon Saran.
"As many know I lost Sophia's dad 7 years ago and I went through a serious time of depression, stress, anxiety, grieving," she wrote. "I'm so thankful I used some of these activities to get me to a much better place, surround yourself with positive people, an groups of people who have emotional capability to be a positive influence."
#happyhealing Holidays! I made a quick video you can see the entirety on @periscope and @Facebook as well. I wanted to share some of my wisdom for coping through grief through the holidays.As many know I lost Sophia's dad 7 years ago and I went through a serious time of depression, stress, anxiety, grieving . For others who are going through it this holiday season here are some great things I've done to feel better and maybe you do some of these and maybe some you will try, let me know🏻 1. Take time for you , set a timer as alone time is great but do not dwell . 2. Think of some memorable music, movies, & food for your loved one or you love! ( that's a favorite of mine) 3. Write a letter of some great stuff that happened this past year, new things you've learned and what you hope for 2016. 4. Some out side activities- plant. Tree or plant and watch it grow and give back to the out doors in a positive way / also give to a favorite charity or foundation that means a lot to your or you loved one ( for families, singles parents, children) this is a must every year for me. 6. Lastly I think the world of cognitive behavior therapy you can do from home and it helps heal anxiety, depression, and get you to your happy place. I'm so thankful I used some of these activities to get me to a much better place, surround your self with positive people, and groups of people who have emotional capability to be a positive influence. God / your faith as well is a free gift that helps amazingly 🏽🏻 proud of all my amazing supporters and those who take the initiative to make room for peace and remembrance . Happy Holidays
