VIDEO: Her Nose Was Eaten by Animals, But Now She’s Completely Different!

When she was adopted by single Kristin Williams, she was 3-year-old. Back in India, she had been left to die in a trash pile, where her nose and lips were eaten by insects and animals. A group from The Doctors heard her story and decided to donate her a reconstructive surgery and a nasal prosthesis. The transformation is amazing!

An abandoned 3-year-old girl from India who was refused by many couples seeking to adopt because she had no nose has finally found a new home.

Kristen Williams, 44, adopted little Durga after a number of couples refused her because insects had eaten away her nose when she was abandoned at birth.

But Durga has now started a new life in Cincinnati, Ohio, with her 8-year-old sister Munni, who Williams also adopted from India in 2012.

Williams,  bstarted her adoption journey in Nepal in 2010. But the following year the U.S. suddenly suspended all adoptions with the country, so Williams became acquainted with India’s adoption program and very quickly came across little Munni who had been in an orphanage since 2009.

In December 2012 Kristen met Munni for the first time.

Williams came to find out that Munni had a scar on her forehead in the shape of a horseshoe but no one could tell her how it got there.

On Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, 2013, Williams finally became Munni’s adopted mother.

Williams told her adoption agency as soon as she arrived that that she wanted to adopt again. And they promised to keep her notified of availabilities.

It was Williams’ caseworker that told her about little Durga. She had been abandoned in a bush at birth and insects or animals had eaten away her nose. Apparently the police found her clinging to life and took her to a nearby clinic in Kutch, in Gujarat, western India. Chances of her survival were slim, but she fought on. Eventually she made a full recovery and she started her life in an orphanage, but there was no funding or money available for treatment to her nose. Durga had spent all her life with no nose.

When Williams first saw a photo, she didn’t hesitate. She said yes immediately and knew that Durga would be forever happy in a home with her and Munni.

Durga had been refused by many couples because of her missing nose.

Ilaben Anjaria, the superintendent of Kutch Mahila Kalyan Kendra center, in Gujarat, said Durga arrived at the care center in September 2011, weighing just 1-pound, 3 ounces and was just a day old.

There have been only six children at the centre and more than 25 families are waiting to adopt a baby but none of them wanted to adopt Durga.

Williams has now taken eight months off work to spend time helping Durga settle into her new home. She said her parents, older sister who has four children, and brother-in-law, have been a big support and having embraced both Munni and Durga as members of the family.
