TV Moms Who Should Totally Adopt Us

We here at E! News may be grown ups, and we may have our own mothers, fathers, and families who love us dearly and who we obviously love in return, but sometimes TV makes us feel as if we have a hundred bonus moms. We would be totally OK with it if some of those moms wanted to adopt us for real, and these are all the reasons why.

Alicia Florrick, The Good Wife

We just want to breathe the same air she breathes while she kisses us goodnight on a daily basis. Is that too much to ask?

Snow White, Once Upon a Time

She's the sweetest, fiercest, most loving mother in all the land, and who wouldn't just die to have Snow White as their mother?

Alison Hendrix, Orphan Black

Her kids may get neglected a fair amount in favor of clone business, but Alison is the ultimate secretly terrifying soccer mom and we're totally obsessed with her.

Kristina Braverman, Parenthood

She may not have won the Mayor race, but Kristina Braverman won our hearts as she raised a boy with aspergers, battled cancer like a champ and loved her daughter regardless of her sexuality.

ABC

Annalise Keating, How to Get Away with Murder

They may not be related by blood, but Annalise might as well be the mother of her team of baby lawyers/criminals, and honestly there aren't a lot of crimes we wouldn't commit for her too.

Universal Television

Mindy Lahiri, The Mindy Project

A kid (or a grown journalist) could learn a lot from a lady who knows how to stand up for herself, take no crap from anybody, and absolutely kill an outfit at the same time.

Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy

Meredith has just been through so much. If she adopted us, we could help babysit!

Jessica Huang, Fresh Off the Boat

Like she says, if you're going to do something, be the best, and Jessica is one of the best moms out there.

Carole Hudson-Hummel, Glee

She was the best mom our quarterback could have asked for. The fact that she's married to one of the best TV dads only makes us want her to adopt us more.

Olivia Benson, Law & Order: SVU

A mom that saves lives and is in Taylor Swift's squad? What more could a kid ask for?

Lorelai Gilmore, Gilmore Girls

Whether you need a hug, a chat, a cup of coffee, or an obscure pop culture reference, Lorelai is one of TV's best moms of all time. Where she leads, we will follow.

Cookie Lyon, Empire

There is no mother willing to do more for her kids than this woman, and to be a part of this dramatic family would just be delicious.

Leslie Knope, Parks and Recreation

Waffles every Sunday. Scrapbooking parties. Constant enthusiasm. We might love Leslie Knope as our mom more than she loves Joe Biden.

Tami Taylor, Friday Night Lights

Clear eyes, full, hearts, please adopt us. Tami Taylor isn't our mom, but we really wish she was.

Catelyn Stark, Game of Thrones

She may not have been very nice to Jon Snow, but Catelyn still managed to raise one hell of a family, even with winter on the way. We miss her.

HBO

Daenerys Targaryen, Game of Thrones

She is the MOTHER OF DRAGONS. We're not a dragon but we'd still gladly be a member of this family.

Netflix

Laurie, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

OK, she was not the best, but can she adopt us for like a few days so we can ride roller coasters with Lisa Kudrow?
