  1. I live in Manitoba, Canada. I am 55 years old.
    The love of my life passed away 21 years ago when our 4 daughters were ages 11 months, 2 years, 9 years and 12 years old. I held on to Jesus and got lots of support from family and my church. My passion has always been for orphans and foster children. I started fostering newborns and have since adopted another two girls who are 6 years old and 12 years old. I’ve also “adopted” another beautiful young woman so right now I say, I have 7 daughters! I have five grandchildren and 4 of those are adopted as well! God is continuing to bless me through all the beautiful people He has sent me! I am a Mother of many nations!!
