D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on adopting a baby: 'I had so much to share'
'The mayor of the nation’s capital is a new mom, the first single mother to run the city.
Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) surprised residents, political observers and some in her own administration on Monday evening, when she announced she had adopted a newborn.
Bowser, who is 45, told WUSA Channel 9 that it was the right time for her to start a family.
“I decided to start the adoption journey, just knowing that it was a great time in my life and I had so much to share with a baby,” she said. “When you sit in the seat that I’m in, you’re used to being able to make things happen, and babies have a way of letting you know that they’re in control.”'
