My name is Amaris:promised by God.

My mother always wanted to have children. She said that God told her that she would be a mother. When she got married and started trying to conceive, she couldn’t. Doctors told her that her chances of having children were slim to none. After almost 10 years of trying, she found out that she was pregnant.

Although doctors and others didn’t believe that she would have children, she remembered God’s promise to her many years ago and held tight to it.
