Cora's post is not the first time she is opening up about adopting her kids. The preacher's journey to motherhood was not rosy. She has previously narrated her experience with infertility and failed IVF cycles.

Such experiences are enough to break one, but Cora's faith remained unshaken and helped her to live through the pain of infertility. In a chat, she revealed her infertility started after she was involved in a nasty car accident.

Following the accident, doctors found a cyst on both of her ovaries. She discovered she had the polycystic ovarian syndrome, which has infertility as one of its symptoms. Cora took the necessary steps and adopted her daughter when she was three years old and her son when he was an infant.
