20-year-old Inga Petri proves that the impossible is possible! Despite the lack of limbs, the girl spends her days more active than most ordinary people, writes Woman.ru.
Back in 2000, a girl was born in Novosibirsk, who received the name Inga. Unfortunately, the baby was born with a serious congenital defect - aplasia of the upper extremities. Her arms are completely missing.
Parents sent Inga to a local shelter. However, fate smiled at the girl. When she was 2,5 years old, she was adopted by a married couple from Atlanta.

Daniel and Jennifer Petri did everything possible to make Inga feel comfortable in society.
For some time, the family did not have the means to purchase prostheses for the girl. To everyone's surprise, during this period Inga learned ... to do absolutely everything with her feet!
The first thing that Inga learned was to hold cutlery. Today, thanks to this skill, she can cook on her own in the kitchen, write on a sheet, type on a computer and even do makeup!
She can drive a car and even play the cello!
Inga has prostheses, but with them she feels uncomfortable.

“They don't suit me. I'm much more comfortable with everything with my feet, ”Petri told the Daily Mail.
The 20-year-old is studying at the university - in the future she will become a certified lawyer. She has many friends. And Inga is also in love - the young man tries to help her in everything.
Inga does not know her biological parents - and, in principle, is not eager to find them. The girl considers her move to the USA to be a gift of fate and is very grateful to her mom and dad for this.
