On Instagram, however, Maria shared an emotional note. As per the 36-year-old, this is a result of an extremely challenging three years of her life.

She added:

"There were times when I felt like giving up. But it was put on my heart to keep trying and never let the dream of becoming a mother go. For every setback my husband was there reminding me to keep the faith. My friends and family held my hand and held me up as I traveled cross country for appointments."
