fortunately as if seeking to restore the balance in this world there are also many people in this world who are willing to lend a helping hand Katie page is one of the foster parents who know that is a rule that goes beyond providing food and lodging to a kid having discovered her lifelong mission she took the leap and decided to officially adopt a kid in her foster care a year later there was a calling again and she was more than excited to welcome a second child in her home however in the process of adoption she discovered something about the kid that she wasn't ready for and definitely didn't expect after a tumultuous marriage and a heartbreaking divorce Katie page of Parker Colorado decided that she will lead everything in her life differently she was then a submissive woman who couldn't decide for herself however the things that happened to her in the past had made an impact Katie felt so alone when she divorced her husband in her early 30s in her 20s she had her life perfectly planned out as if it was on a blueprint however there's something in her that just didn't go as smoothly as planned despite being a healthy and active woman Katie had suffered infertility issues although she didn't blame it as the sole reason why her marriage fell apart somehow she knew that it was one of the causes Katie remembered so many nights when she had to cradle herself to sleep she'd shed so many tears knowing that her dream to be a mother was almost impossible she wanted to bear a child like any other woman but due to unfortunate natural circumstances she wasn't able to do it when her marriage eventually came to an end she had no clue that it was just the beginning of another amazing chapter in her life determined to start a new Katy page gave up everything that would remind her of what happened in the past she quit her job and decided to buy a new house it was like starting from scratch all over again it but at least she had something to do at the height of her loneliness Katy felt as she wanted to do something different in her life however she was unsure of what that something meant in hopes of finding the answer she went on and started renovating her newly bought property into her dream home Katy had the money to hire professionals who could help her renovate the house however she opted to do things on her own as a way of her leaving her stress moreover she wanted to see something beautiful that was created by her own hands however her mother couldn't leave her all alone and volunteer to help with some cleaning after a few weeks Katy was beginning to see some changes still it wasn't enough one day she was in the middle of tearing out old cabinets and ripping up the slightly ruined floors when she received an unexpected message in her inbox amidst the emails which were work-related there was a particular message in her inbox that caught her attention it was from her local church and the message had something to do with fostering a child personally Katy didn't know anyone who foster children nor did she have any friends who were raised in a foster home although feeling clueless about it Katy couldn't fool herself that the subject had awakened a soft spot in her heart in her mind she was already planning to call back the number provided by the pastor despite her mother's advice to first think things over Katy went on and made the call Katy was struggling to build her life once again there is still so many things to finish in her new house she was working as a full-time employee and fostering a child wasn't even on the list in the first place although she had dreams of becoming a mother despite infertility issues the timing just wasn't right despite the words of warning from people close to her Katy never felt discouraged when her mother had seen how determined she was she even accompanied Katy to the fostering session Katy admitted that everything she heard about fostering a child had given her the chills however there was something unexplainable about it that she couldn't stop thinking about Katie wasn't sure of how she would balance her time as a single full-time working woman and as a foster woman but whenever she closed her eyes she pictured the idea of taking children that needed help the more she thought about it the more she was convinced to do it in 2015 exactly on a day dedicated to all the mothers in the world Katie had completed her application as well as the necessary documents required from a foster parent that Mother's Day was marked as the beginning of her new adventures as a foster mom after barely a year of dedicating her life as a foster mother Katie Paige had taken care of four foster kids the youngest was a 13 month old baby the children were all kind and sweet and they fulfilled a hole in her heart however then she received another call from her fellow pace worker then another baby needed some help and Katie didn't have the heart to say no the baby was abandoned by his mother at a hospital he had drug exposure and was likely to be funneled into a foster to adopt situation her caseworker also said that the baby boy was not showing signs of withdrawal moreover he was ready to be discharged the following day without any second thoughts whatsoever Katie told the caseworker that she would have him after the call only then did Katie realized how she would make things possible the baby in the hospital was just four days old at the time and needed as much attention as he could get Katie knew she had only one chance frantically Katie phoned her mother and asked her to live with her for the next few months she had no idea how to take care of a newborn baby fortunately her mother came to the rescue for Katie it all happened so fast barely 24 hours after the call she came out of the hospital with a newborn baby in her arms every mother knows that raising a child is never easy others can easily say how beautiful it is to have a kid however some do not have any idea of how hard it could be and Katie Paige was no different aside from the other kids fostered which included a 13 month-old baby taking care of a newborn baby was not an easy task sometimes she contemplated the idea of being a carefree woman once again less hassles less responsibilities less effort however whenever she looked at the newborn baby who was abandoned by his mother after birth she knew that she could make a big difference in his life the foster kids brought so much joy and meaning to Katy's life yes the journey was not easy and yet at the end of the day she always felt content and complete finally the answer she was looking for for so many years had dawned on her one day Katie realized that she can do more than taking on temporary placements her desire to give a child a permanent home grew persistently with each passing day with the coming of the new baby her dream had materialized in front of her she would adopt the baby boy for a start Katie named him Grayson Katy chose the name Grayson because it means God's grace although the authorities in her community didn't cease in finding the biological parents of the baby boy deep in her heart she knew that she wanted him to be her son forever in the months that followed Katy was feeling a mixture of fear and excitement she wanted to find out about the baby's parents she even posted ads in newspapers however nobody had any leads although she wanted him to move in with no opposition her heart ached as she thought of the future where she would have to tell Grayson that no one showed up at his termination hearing after 11 months of the search going nowhere the court had legalized the adoption on the papers the boy was named Grayson and Katy Paige became his mother on that day there was a mixture of joy and sadness however Katie knew that their adventure together was about to begin since he was exposed to drugs as a baby Grayson showed signs of developmental struggles his physical health also needed double the attention with his utmost interest in mind Katy had to temporarily stop accepting potential placements she wanted to give all of her time and attention to son who badly needed her after a year and a half Grayson showed signs of being a healthy and active little boy having been adjusted to the life of a full-time mom Katie realized that she was ready to foster kids again when she announced that her home was once again open for foster care she was flooded with calls and emails however she prioritized emergency short-term placements for the meantime judging by the situation at her home she knew she wasn't ready to accept long-term placements perhaps it would take her a few years however one day her caseworker called her and the subject of her message was just too hard to resist the caseworker first asked her about Grayson's adoption when she said that everything was going fine she then told her about the case of a four day old baby girl with drug exposure moreover she badly needed placement that afternoon katie found out that the baby girl was in the same hospital where she met grayson in an instant the memory when she saw the abandoned baby boy for the first time came back to her she felt the same chills in her bones katie was feeling overwhelmed yet didn't drop the call before it ended she actually said yes to the caseworker in a matter of four hours after the fateful call Katie Page and Grayson welcomed a baby girl in their home the caseworkers proceeded to inspect the house and were satisfied then they told her the little details they have about the baby girl although things happen too fast Katie kept on reassuring herself that everything would be fine she done it with Grayson and the second time around wouldn't be that hard she had a young woman whom she considered her roommate who helped her with a house chores end in one way or another Katie was certain they could manage after the caseworkers left Katie and her roommate proceeded to make dinner then just as she was about to call it a night she decided to review the discharge papers when her eyes came across the date of the mother listed on the document she instantly frowned she had a second look and slowly an odd thought began to shape in her mind she asked her roommate to look after the children while she checked out Grayson's documents it turns out that Grayson's mother and the baby girl's mother were born only a day apart without further ado she told her roommate what she was thinking is it possible they have the same mother this question had lingered on Katie's mind after her on discovery she looked at her son he's a half African American with dark curly hair and darker skin on the other hand the baby girl had straight red blonde hair and pale white skin the notion in her mind seemed crazy Katie's mind was not going to stop there so she checked the baby girl's bracelet and found out that her mother's name was the same as Graysons when she compared the different documents more thoroughly Katie realized she needed to confirm something without hesitation Katie called Grayson's caseworker when she told her about the suspicions she was certain they would think she'd gone crazy however that was the least of her worries the following morning Katie pleaded with the caseworker to tell her more about the baby girl she found out that the biological mother wanted to regain custody and was interested in visiting her daughter in the foster home moreover the caseworker told her that the biological mother had multiple children and some of them were funneled into adoption in the neighboring counties Katie was able to determine the timeframe between the biological mother's last two known children it occurred to her that it was indeed possible that the same woman had conceived and delivered her son however no one seemed to think that her suspicions made sense Katie was left with no choice but to wait for the day she would take the baby girl to her biological mother for her first visit she was excited and nervous at the same time in her mind what would happen if it turns out that she was also the mother of Grayson which she lose her son forever when Katie was finally introduced to the baby girl's biological mother other thoughts were running through her mind in an instant she knew that she was facing Grayson's mother however she held herself back and asked more questions how many children do you have was the first one the woman answered a number she already suspected it seemed that the county was missing one she gave a following question on how many were boys and how many were girls again the woman answered as expected in those brief five minutes the mother told her something about her life that put her into the situation she was in today Katie's heart wept for her before parting the woman gave her candy and a gift for the little angel Katie thought that the woman was just as beautiful as her son although she's almost a hundred percent sure she wanted to justify her thoughts so she called her caseworker again and told her everything about her speculations less than an hour later the caseworker called back she said that they carried out their own investigation and found out that the last name the mother gave with Grayson's birth was the same as with the baby girl both Katie and the caseworker were stunned it was a miracle after the call Katie cried in a mixture of delight and relief several thoughts came running through her mind what if she had said yes to the other temporary placements that were offered to her and had no chance to take in the baby girl upon thinking Katie realized that fate had played its part the baby girl was meant to come to her to be with her biological brother there were many foster parents in the area and it was amazing that destiny had led this little girl to her doors at that moment Katie felt certain it was God's calling Katie took one final step to ensure that Grayson and the baby girl who she named Hannah were indeed siblings the two underwent a DNA test needless to say the result confirmed that the two babies share the same biological mother they were abandoned at the same hospital and they were reunited thanks to the unseen force that led them to safety that being Katie's house now there's just one final step to take just as she did to Grayson Katie Paige had no doubts of welcoming Hanna into her life on December 28 2018 she officially adopted Hanna her mother her roommate her friends and even the caseworkers were extremely amazed at her compassion and generosity looking back the four-bedroom house she bought years ago was like a barren land big but empty today there are two kids who are bringing light and joy to the space their adventures together weren't always rainbows and butterflies however with a little help from her family and friends she knows they will always be alright Katie despite having two little kids is still open for temporary placement calls she had discovered her passion and purpose along the way and will continue to help children in need for as long as she can everyone around her already thinks that she's an angel with all of her excitement relief and gratefulness Katie can't help but put the experience into writing she just couldn't believe the coincidence and was sure that she had something nice to say when her son and daughter grow up with her roommates encouragement the story was submitted by Katie to love what matters in a matter of hours the post had been re shared many times the beauty of foster care and adoption is shown at its finest the amazing story quickly captured the attention of the media and Katie was invited to share the miracle at Good Morning America aside from sharing her happiness she also encouraged everyone who has the resources kindness and compassion to lend a helping hand to everyone in need especially to children every day spent with Grayson and Hannah is pure joy for Katie the kids always remind her that motherhood is such a sacred profession moreover she had started to develop a friendship with a biological mother and was doing her best to help her get back on track as well when Hanna turned thirteen months old they found out that there's another baby on the way unlike the first two that were helplessly abandoned at the hospital Katie made sure that she will help the mother if she's not capable of raising the baby alone she even said that her house will always be open to another sibling
