Tears filled my eyes. These two little girls, who had almost nothing—abandoned and left to survive in the cold—had given my child something I couldn’t: happiness in the middle of her pain. Over the next days, they filled our home with stories, laughter, and play. For Emma, who had been so tired and quiet, it was like the light had returned. And for me, I realized something important—sometimes the family we need finds us in the most unexpected ways.
