In a lengthy post on Instagram, the Unang Hirit host talked about how much she loves Joshua even though they are not biologically related.

“I am blessed for the gift of having a son in Joshua, my first child. Although he did not come from my womb, my love for him was birthed deep in my heart. So deep that I feel he is my own child. My first son -- mine to me.”

Miriam added that she cherishes every moment she gets to spend with her stepson.

“I always cherish the times we spend cuddling, doing tickle fights, painting together, cooking and baking together, walking the dog together, playing at Timezone together, doing grocery shopping together, traveling together, reading the bible and doing devotions together, most especially the numerous real and imaginary adventures we have together as mother and son. I'm so excited to be starting a new journey of homeschooling with you.”
