Children not specifically named in will

Jurisdiction

North Carolina

I created a will before my children were born with the following section.

I currently have no children, but all references in this Will to "my children" are references children born to me or adopted by me after the signing of this Will.

Is this sufficient to legally have my two children in my will, or should I attach a codicil or even draft a new will completely?

Draft a new will. Doesn't cost much and there are probably other things that need to be updated. Once you have properly completed the new will, destroy the old one and all its copies. Don't forget to make the new will "self-proving" (google it).
