For Diana Mazza, a difficult childhood and marriage did not diminish the goodness in her but instead nurtured a heart to help those stuck in similar situations.

Over the past decade or so, Ms. Mazza has fostered more than 40 children who had fallen into the foster care system in Orange County and adopted two of them as her own.
