Meg Ryan has shared a rare insight into her relationship with her adopted daughter, Daisy.
The 63-year-old actress adopted Daisy, now 20, from China in 2006 when she was just a baby, calling their union "perfect".
"I always thought I'd adopt, and at various points, I was on the brink of it," the Sleepless in Seattle star told The Sunday Times.
"But it was particular to Daisy, I guess. I don't know how events conspired to bring us together, but it was perfect," she added.
Daisy is currently studying English Literature at college in New York City, but Meg revealed that she is hoping to take her studies to England one day "to study in Bath", referring to the UK city.
Alongside Daisy, Meg is also a mom to son, Jack Quaid, 32, with her ex-husband, actor Dennis Quaid, now 70.

In a heartfelt interview last year, Meg couldn't help but gush about her children. "I have two of the greatest kids. They are hilarious, they're smart, they are kind, they're interested in other people, they're curious about the world," she shared with People.

Daisy embarked on her college journey last year and her mother has been candid about the challenges of letting go.
Meg confessed to People that she has been visiting her daughter "probably more than I should," often driving for hours just to share a coffee with Daisy on her college campus.

"She really is somebody who has a lot of different interests and she's a great reader and she, at least, has a memory of the phone not being everything," Meg explained.
While Daisy navigates her college life, her older brother Jack has been making a name for himself in Hollywood. Jack made his acting debut in 2012 with a role in The Hunger Games and has since starred in high-profile projects like Oppenheimer, Logan Lucky, and the popular TV series The Boys.

"I am an immensely privileged person, was able to get representation pretty early on, and that's more than half the battle," Jack told the Daily Beast in July.
"I knew the door was open for me in a lot of ways that it's just not for a lot of actors. And I've just tried to work as hard as I possibly can to prove that I deserve to walk through that door."
