About Me




Hello, my
name is Jessenia Arias.  I am an adoptee in reunion. I was
abandoned at a woman’s doorstep in New York City at just months old. I was
labeled a miracle baby and a fighter by doctors. I like to think that God
had a purpose for my life, therefore, I needed to survive in order to fulfill the purpose God has for my life. 
From
adoption to a group home, I found out the truth about my adoption. I was born
in the womb, and raised by the streets. I have survived more than most would
ever imagine searching for a place to call home and a family of my own. From
the streets to strip clubs, from jail cells to college classrooms, I am
reaching the world with my testimony how God had a purpose for my life despite
my beginnings.
Today, I live in Japan. I
am blessed to travel and share my story all over the world in hopes to inspire
every child to believe that they were born on purpose with a purpose. I have
been blessed to travel throughout the US and to Japan, S. Korea, Indonesia, Jamaica,
Spain, and Puerto Rico and tell my story. 
With
God’s grace and mercy I am alive today to show you what a little faith and love
can do for you and me.
Love you
& thank you for reading.
xoxo
