The Fingerprint That Changed Everything

Meet the newest addition to our family! Her name is Ikoit Gabdesia, and she's Clara's age (5). Isn't she beautiful? We actually got a letter from her this past week. It was so sweet...she wants to be a doctor someday. Her favorite game is skipping rope. And do you know what else? Her fingerprint looks like this:

When I saw this little smudged fingerprint, tears sprung to my eyes and goosebumps covered my body. This isn't a sweet little charity project to teach the kids about giving. This isn't just another few bucks to put in the debit column of our budget. This is a beautiful, smiling, rope skipping little girl. And she's counting on us.

I am 100% committed to this little sweet-pea. I want to help her stay healthy. I want to help her go to school. I want to see her face to face some day. I want her to feel love from half way around the globe.

Oh Lord, please keep and bless little Ikoid Gabdesia.
