A Beautiful Homecoming:The Hamilton Family’s Adoption Story

We are overjoyed to share the incredible journey of the Hamilton family, who recently arrived home from India with their precious daughter, Likitha! After months of navigating the adoption process, they finally welcomed her home in November. Now, as they settle into a new rhythm, they can truly see how far their family has come.

“Liki is 2.5 years old, and we are happy to report that our girl is thriving!” her parents shared. There were challenges in the beginning—food insecurity, sleep struggles, and warming up to new surroundings—but those days now seem like distant memories. She adores her big brother, Eli, and their morning hugs have become a treasured moment in the Hamilton home. “Watching them wake up and run to greet each other first thing in the morning is one of our greatest joys.”

Likitha’s bright personality shines through in everything she does. She has taken to English with ease while still holding on to pieces of her Telugu heritage, singing along to worship songs with pure joy. As her mom and dad put it, “The pace at which she continues to emerge from her shell is breathtaking.” Though she has a diagnosis of cerebral palsy, she is determined and unstoppable, already making strides with her new brace and continuing to meet every challenge with courage.

The Hamiltons' adoption journey was made possible in part through the generosity of those who support Connected Hearts Ministry. With your help, they raised over $12,000 to bring Likitha home! As the Hamiltons beautifully said,“It all started with what seemed like a far-off tug on our hearts, but it all happened because of the incredible generosity of God poured out through His people.”

To everyone who has given, prayed, and supported this mission—this is the impact you are making. Because of you, children like Likitha are growing up in loving families where they are cherished, encouraged, and given every opportunity to thrive.

Thank you for being part of stories like this! Your support is changing lives in ways that words can barely capture!
