LITTLE ROCK (BP) -- She was born with no name. She doesn't know her own birthday. She was emotionally and physically abused, even raped. She lived, for a time, as a street child in Kampala, Uganda, her heart filling with hatred. Anitha Kobusingye says her story is not unique among children in Africa. In fact, it wasn't until coming to America for college that she discovered her story was different.

And to her parents, she is a gift from God -- a gift for whom they waited a long time.
