Santa Úrsula orphanage SYNOPSIS:
Abandoned at the doorsteps of the Santa Úrsula orphanage a few days after being born, Chabelita (Andrea Lagunes) grows up in a somber and uncaring environment.  Her short life has been even harder because of the mistreatment she's received from the institute's strict headmistress.  In spite of all these difficult experiences, Chabelita still maintains a cheerful and optimistic spirit that has never been broken.  For she possesses a contagious enthusiasm and an almost magical ability to bring people together.  After being told her father lives in the Mexican capital city, Chabelita escapes from the orphanage to look for him.  And so start the tender adventures of a wonderful little girl who, in her search for the family she so longs to have, leaves little droplets of love with all the lonely and emotionally-needy people she comes in contact with.
SUBPLOT:  Chabelita's real parents turn out to be María Fernanda de Santiago (Laura Flores), sole Miguel de León
heiress to a textile factory, and Ulises Arredondo (Miguel de León) sole heir to a hotel chain.  Upon discovering her identity, both become embroiled in a bitter legal battle to take sole custody of her.  All of a sudden, the family she so longed for is real and is fighting to keep her.  But now, Chabelita's only wish is to remain with Jesús García (Álex Ibarra), a poor street vendor she adopted as her father.

Gotita de Amor logo RESUMEN:
Abandonada en la puerta de un orfelinato a los pocos diás de nacer, Chabelita ha crecido en un ambiente sombrío y falta de cariño.  Su corta vida ha sido más dura aún a causa del maltrato que ha recibido de la recia directora de la institución benéfica.  A pesar de las difíciles experiencias que ha vivido Chabelita, su espíritu alegre y optimista, nunca ha podido ser quebrantado; ella posee una habilidad casi mágica para unir a la gente, y su entusiasmo es contagioso.  Cuando le dicen que su padre vive en la capital mexicana, Chabelita escapa del orfanato para encontrarlo.  Así comienzan las enternecedoras aventuras de esta niña maravillosa que, mientras busca a la familia que tanto añora, lleva "gotitas de amor" a todas las personas solitarias y necesitadas con las que entra en contacto.
