So, I was adopted by a loving, Christian family. Still I had to do dialysis, but not for too long. God the Creator, all Powerful blessed me with a kidney six months after arriving. Amazing! Then I started to grow, healthy, strong, started to like American food, and my new parents took me to church every Sunday.
As I grew older I struggled with obedience. I was angry most of the time and was unkind to my parents. I just wanted to be left alone and nobody to rule over me. Usually I didn't get alone well with my Mom. She was only trying to help me with my heart issues. She would point me to the cross. How Jesus came to earth to die for the sins of the world and me. "For God so loved the world that He gave us his Only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.'' And "For the wages of sin is death But the gift of God is eternal life." And she would say to me, ''Maria, God loves you so much and he has plans for you. I love you, I want what's best for you!'' Tears would come to my eyes because I disliked what she was saying to me. I wanted to hurt myself. I was hurt in many ways. My knew parents didn't know all about me, I kept things to myself. I knew about God, but I didn't want to believe it. Then before I turned 16 years old everything changed in my life.

Memories 5
I got to the hospital in Shell. While I was there a young lady came to tell me about Jesus. I didn't understand what she was talking about, then she handed me a book.
Later on the Dr's said that they couldn't help me. So, they sent me to Quito the capital of Ecuador. This time the man didn't come with me. Finally I got there. They put me in the hospital. I was hooked up with needles and other things; I couldn't just leave the room.
The next day a young man came. His name was Jonás. I didn't like him. And I wouldn't even speak to him. I wouldn't even let him touch me.
The next morning a young girl came. I liked her at once. From then on she took care of me. She took me whatever I was needed to be taken, stayed in the hospital, gave me treats, and one time I called her, "Mom!" She told me that she wasn't my mother. Somedays I cried when she had to go home.
Months passed by. I needed dialysis. So, everyday had to go do dialysis. It was tiring and I even slept in school and I missed it a lot too. I was a bad little girl. I was independent. Nobody corrected me between wrong and what's right. You may ask why I had to do dialysis? As a small for my age, thin, no family, not eating enough food, and my kidneys weren't working anymore.
So, life went on. People thought that I was going to die soon. But I wasn't worried about these things. As days, weeks, and months went by, I heard that I was going to be adopted.
