Montgomery County mom celebrating her first Mother's Day says adoption journey was “so worth it.”

Jennifer Cornley, a special education teacher in Montgomery County, recently adopted her daughter, Cara, who was born in Vietnam. Cornley talked about motherhood with Marjorie Margolies, who was the first unmarried U.S. citizen to adopt a foreign child.

"Listen," says Margolies, "there will be incredible challenges, but [being a mother], it's such a wonderful experience, the highs and the lows, just go with it."

Cara is now focused on learning English. Cornley has some positive words of advice for anyone hoping to become a mother.

"It's so worth it," she said. "Every second of her is absolutely worth every second of crying that happened before she came home, you know, every second of waiting and worrying. She is the best."
