According to Jennifer Lopez, her words got a little twisted in an interview she gave about adoption. Today, the mother of two set the record straight on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

"I know I'm being misquoted in the press a lot," Lopez told Ellen. "[They say that] I want to adopt and I had depression when I had babies -- none of that's true."

In the film What To Expect When You’re Expecting, Lopez plays Holly, a mother who adopts a child from abroad. In real life, she shares two biological twins Emme and Max with estranged husband Marc Anthony.

She turned to Murkoff’s book for help: “It said how you have this huge hormonal drop about seven to 10 days after you give birth. It's called the 'baby blues.' But I just thought they didn't like me!"
