Single Mom Finds Out A Shocking Truth About Her Foster Kids

Katie Page is the perfect example, having decided to adopt her foster child officially. This decision paved the way for a discovery she could have never imagined.  

She realized that life doesn’t always go as planned, no matter how well you prepare for it. Because of this, she vowed to look at life differently. She was a submissive person her entire life, but this time, she knew she had to take charge of her own life.

Katie had always dreamed of being a mother, so this reality shattered her. She would often cry herself to sleep, knowing that her dream might be impossible to achieve. But, little did she know that there were bigger plans for her life – things that would make her even more fulfilled than ever.

Although these were good first steps, Katie still felt lonely. There was also a nagging feeling that she was supposed to do something new, something different. She had no clue what that “something” was, so she decided to have her new home renovated in the meantime. 

She was seeing some transformation over the weeks, but she wasn’t content yet, so she kept going. She was working on some old cabinets and floors when she got a surprising message.

Despite not knowing anything about it, she felt a tug in her heart. Her mom told her to think about it first, but nothing stopped Katie from making that call right away.

But Katie knew that there was a reason why she received the message at the exact period when she was going through all these struggles. Her mother was worried, but she showed support by volunteering to be Katie’s companion during her fostering sessions.

So on Mother’s Day in 2015, she decided to jump in and become a foster mom. She sent in her application form and all the documents required to process her request to become a foster parent.

One day, a caseworker called and said there was a baby that needed help right away. The four-day-old baby was abandoned in a hospital. The baby had drug exposure but was not going through withdrawal. The hospital had also given the go-ahead signal to release the baby the following day, so Katie had to make a decision immediately.

Katie knew she had no other choice but to call her mom for help. Thankfully, her mom agreed to live with Katie for a few months so that she could help Katie care for the new baby. Less than 24 hours later, the baby was in Katie’s arms.

But she knew she could never feel this fulfillment anywhere else.  There was something exceptional in the newborn. Katie felt it was her mission to make a difference in this baby’s life.

Katie was contemplating how far she’d come when she realized that there was something bigger waiting for her. She understood that fostering kids meant being a temporary parent, but what if she decided to take a permanent role? Suddenly, she knew she had to adopt the newborn.

Katie remained cooperative throughout the process and even posted an ad to try and get Grayson’s biological parents to come forward.  She didn’t want to have any problem once the official adoption hearing was underway, but she also wanted to spare Grayson from the future heartbreak of finding out that no one came to fight for him

Because Grayson had drug exposure, Katie knew that she had to give him extra time and attention. There were developmental issues to take care of and other potential physical concerns. Because of this, Katie stopped accepting potential foster kids so that she could give Grayson her complete focus.

When she finally decided to accept placements once again, she immediately received numerous calls. There was an evident need for good foster parents. But Katie only accepted emergency placements for now because she knew she would drop everything the moment Grayson needed her.

It was a four-day-old baby with drug exposure left in the same hospital where Katie picked up Grayson. Come to think of it; it was the exact same situation as Grayson. She said yes right away, feeling like there was something more to the story than she was seeing now.

By now, Katie already had a roommate who helped out with chores and other matters around the house. This made Katie a bit more confident than the first time she took Grayson. Plus, she managed to care for Grayson before, so this shouldn’t be any different.

Upon closer inspection, Katie noticed that the birthday of the baby’s mother was only a day apart from Grayson’s mother’s birthdate. She called her roommate and asked her to look after the kids while she took a closer look at all the documents.

However, the physical appearance was so different. Grayson had darker skin and dark curls, while the baby girl had reddish blonde hair and a pale complexion. But Katie still wanted to confirm whether her hunch was right.

She also reached out to the baby girl’s caseworker to get more information, but she was told that the mother actually wanted to fight for the baby’s custody. Katie also found out that the mother had many children, most of whom were sent to foster homes or put up for adoption.

But nobody else saw the connection. This made Katie look forward to meeting the baby girl’s mother since she was due for a visit soon. Her only fear was that if the connection was made, she might lose Grayson, too.

Katie still wanted to solidify her case, so she asked the woman how many kids she had. The woman mentioned how many kids she had in the system in total, plus how many were boys and how many were girls. She also mentioned that there was one baby boy that was still unaccounted for. Katie felt so much compassion for the woman in front of her.

When the caseworker called her back, everything finally fell into place. The caseworker did some digging herself and found out that it was indeed the same woman who gave up Grayson as a baby. The mystery was finally solved.

She also realized that the turn of events was meant to be. It was no coincidence that she welcomed both babies into her home. She felt that it was God who made all of this happen. Out of all the foster homes in the county, who would have imagined both babies being led to her?

With all the puzzle pieces complete, Katie was finally at peace. She had the thought that this all came together through some form of divine intervention. From the decision to accept both babies to being led to the right evidence, she knew in her heart that this was the way things were meant to be.

Finally, Katie had built the loving home she always wanted. She finally made her own dream of becoming a nurturing mother come true. In the process, she also helped out two kids who weren’t sure about their futures before meeting Katie.

She also found being a foster mom truly fulfilling, so she once again opened her home to temporary placements despite being busy with her own two kids. She knew that this was her passion – to help kids experience love and care despite having no parents.

Her roommate loved what she wrote, so she encouraged Katie to send her story to Love What Matters. Once the story was posted online, the heartwarming story immediately went viral!

It wasn’t long before mainstream media discovered the story, and Katie was invited for an interview on Good Morning America. She used this interview to encourage more people to do everything they can to help out, especially when it comes to kids in the foster system.

The moment Hannah turned 13 months old, they found out that the kids’ biological mom had another baby on the way. But this time, they knew things were going to be different. Katie was there making sure that the mom had all the support she needed.
