Mariska and Peter formally adopted their daughter Amaya from Africa on April 7, 2011. For the couple, adoption was always on the table. "Having lost my mom at a young age, I then grew up with my stepmom, and I have half siblings, and so I know that families can be built in all sorts of different ways, that there isn't just one way to create a family and that it isn't just about biology," she said in an interview with People.
