"I wouldn't be a sober, healthy, working mom who was able to take three adopted kids — which is just different, let's just say — and do it by myself with the help of wonderful nannies if I didn't come from grounded, moral values." This was particularly the case due to the "difficult climates" that she and other modern parents have navigated. "My kids were off school during COVID. We all went through this. Our kids are online and then they are confused about their value systems. It's been a complicated period to raise children," she said. Stone continued, sharing, "And then I see these pictures of them... All of us on the red carpet. I called them all last night, and we were all talking about it. And I just [told] each one of them how proud I was of them because I looked at them as individuals in that picture. Grounded, centered, handsome, organized. I was so proud of them." "I said to my youngest, I said, 'You know what? We did it.' And he said, 'Mom, we're a family that weathered the storm,' " she recalled.
