My Story
Maria is an immigrant, a mother of ten — three biological (one with Jesus) and seven adopted — shaped by a global, multi-ethnic family that reflects the beauty of the Kingdom of God.
Their family represents seven cultural backgrounds, six racial groups, and ten additional needs — a lived theology of unity, faith, and resilience.
Alongside her husband Sam, Maria has built a home defined by God’s love and courageous obedience. Their story — adoption, foster care, loss, perseverance, and unexpected miracles — is a testament to the truth she carries into every room:
God always writes the best stories.
