Mariska Hargitay & Teen Adopted Daughter Hug in Rare Pic Years after She Cried Becoming Her Mom
Mariska Hargitay’s journey to motherhood has been marked by challenges and triumphs, culminating in the joy of raising her three children, including her daughter, Amaya, who recently turned 12.
Years before Amaya joined their family, Mariska faced heartbreak when a promised adoption fell through. However, she embraced motherhood with open arms when an African-American mother entrusted her with Amaya. Cherishing her multiracial family, Mariska, known for her role in “Law & Order,” typically keeps her family life private.
A rare glimpse was recently shared on Instagram, showing Mariska, her husband Peter Hermann, and their children enjoying a moment together. Mariska’s journey began when she gave birth to her first son, August, at 42. Inspired by their desire for a larger family, Mariska and Peter faced numerous challenges in their adoption journey.
