Amaya Josephine Hermann

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.
