Three decades ago, a couple from Colorado faced a difficult decision that would alter the course of three lives. Kathleen and Lee were blessed with triplets with the help of a sperm donor. However, financial strains and personal challenges made it impossible for them to raise all three girls.

With heavy hearts, they made the painful decision to put two of the girls, Kendall and Julianne Scavo, up for adoption, while they kept and raised Rikki Jump.

Rikki grew up with the knowledge of her sisters, while Kendall and Julianne remained in the dark until a Christmas morning. Their adoptive parents chose this special day to reveal the truth, paving the way for the sisters to forge a connection.

They began exchanging letters, becoming pen pals, and at the tender age of 11, they shared their first in-person meeting at a mall—a moment described as a puzzle piece sliding into place, especially poignant for Rikki, who had been grappling with the loss of her father.

Now, all grown up and living in Austin, Texas, the sisters have rekindled their relationship, seeing each other several times a week and even starting a podcast to share their unique journey.

Verse of the Day

“So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.”

Luke 2:16-20
