Lerato has talked openly about the two miscarriages she suffered in the past, revealing that she might never be able to have children as she has fibroids.
Her fans admitted that they were excited at the thought of her adopting following her heartache.
“You’d make a great mama … no pressure but the excitement on the thought that you have adopted,” one commented after she revealed she was not adopting.
Lerato replied: “I know you guys want me to have my little one so bad … Y’all are just amazing.”

It’s not the first time the adoption topic has come up.
Earlier this year, Lerato took to Twitter to tell her followers that “adoption is not a white thing”.
“Anyone can adopt. I know culturally some families might be against it … via tradition! But hey, if your heart says do it, do it!

Lerato also revealed that adopting was not an easy process.
“I really wish there was seminars about artificial insemination, adoption, in vitro fertilisation, surrogacy, etc!” she added.
She might not be adopting a baby just yet, but Lerato’s fans clearly think she would make a great mother.
