The couple adopted their oldest daughter, 38-year-old Annie Guest, in 1986 when she was a newborn. “We were awakened in the middle of the night with the phone call announcing that she was born”, Curtis said in 1991, according to People.

Their second daughter is Ruby Guest, now 29, whom they adopted in 1994. Curtis later described herself as “a grateful student” who is “learning a lot from Ruby.”

In an episode of Morning Joe in August 2023, the Halloween alum gushed over motherhood and supporting Ruby through her journey.

“This life is about love,” Curtis said. “Being a parent is about love, and I love Ruby. Love her. People have said, ‘You’re so great to accept her love.’ What are you talking about? This is my daughter, this human being has come to me and said, ‘This is who I am.’ And my job is to say, ‘Welcome home’,” reported People. (ANI)
