A grandmother of 86 years old has adopted 189 children over 40 years and wishes to continue in this path: “They need me.” For nearly forty years, she dedicated herself to her life as an adoptive mother, taking in many orphaned or abandoned children. In total, this African-American woman raised 189 children over the years, permanently adopting seven of them.
Raising a child is a mission that demands a great deal of love and dedication. So, imagine this lady who, over nearly forty years, has had the responsibility of raising 189 children, deserves all the respect due to her, right?
This eighty-six-year-old lady is gaining real recognition in South Carolina, USA, for improving the lives of over 189 children. Mrs. Ford continues to make a difference through her generosity and dedication to these children.
Her actions for needy children have been followed worldwide. And as long as she has the capacity, she says she wants to continue her work. “These children need me,” she asserts enthusiastically.
In the 1980s, after watching her own children grow and start families, Hannah found herself lonely after her husband’s death. To fill this void, a friend suggested she consider adoption, convinced Hannah would be a wonderful adoptive mother.
Hannah liked the idea and immersed herself in this world. She was so satisfied and fulfilled that she never stopped.
For nearly forty years, she dedicated herself to her life as an adoptive mother, taking in many orphaned or abandoned children. In total, this African-American woman raised 189 children over the years, permanently adopting seven of them.
Her home is a true refuge for these children, a warm and welcoming place. Erica Woodberry is one of the daughters Hannah adopted. She was twelve when she first met Hannah.
One of the things that impressed her the most was how Hannah prepared meals. “I will never forget the first meal she cooked for us. It was amazing,” says Erica, now 48 years old.
Apart from her delicious meals, every child can testify to the kindness and compassion of their adoptive mother.
Despite her advanced age, Hannah continues to welcome new children today and change their lives. She wants to continue her good deeds and offer even more love to those in need. Currently, this grandmother is raising two young ones, aged 16 and 10.
