While Melissa Rivers has been considering adoption for years, she's now unsure if it's the right thing to do.
The former "The Bold and the Beautiful" actress told David Yontef of the "Behind The Velvet Rope" podcast, "I'm over 50. I'm a single person ... I'm sure I could make it work, but I've really come to the conclusion that I'm not sure it would be fair to a child."
Rivers added that, although she definitely wants to expand her family, she is putting the potential child first.
"You have to check yourself and put someone else's needs in front of what you or someone else, in front of what you want," she said. "Do I still want it? 100%. Do I think is the right thing to do? I'm not sure anymore. And believe me, I've cried a lot at nights with that realization."
In the meantime, Rivers is enjoying the time she spends with her son, Cooper. "The best legacy that I can give my mother — that everyone can give their parent — is to raise a good and decent child," Melissa told People. "One who gives back and has a clear understanding of not just being good, but doing good as well. Cooper is my mom's greatest legacy."
