Katie Page si prešla rozvodom a potrebovala si dať svoj život do poriadku po tomto veľkom kroku. Katie však túžila po deťoch a v roku 2015 sa rozhodla pomáhať deťom, ktoré to od narodenia nemali ľahké.
Zachránené dieťa
Po prosbe aby sa Katie postarala o malého chlapčeka, ktorého mama nechala v nemocnici ani neváhala. Chlapček dostal meno Grayson a Katie mu bola náhradnou matkou 11 mesiacov. No osud malého Graysona nebol rúžový, keďže jeho biologická matka užívala drogy počas tehotenstva. Po 11 mesiacoch o Graysona neprejavil nikto záujem a tak sa Katie pokúsila o adopciu, ktorá bola úspešná.
Tomorrow is a day we have been waiting over 6 months for… a full developmental evaluation for Grayson by the @childrenscolo Development Pediatric department. We are praying for more answers and help to keep Grayson progressing and catching up to hit normal milestones. So thrilled we finally made it off the waitlist!! 🙌 📷: @ashleycreativeco Prayers appreciated 🙏 #fostercare #singlefostermom #thisisfostercare #chooselove #momlife #fosterlove #fostertoadopt #adoption #mightymamasbyadoption #adoptionrocks #fostermama #fostering #fosterbaby #thisisus #fostercareis #itsworthit #lovemakesafamily

Grayson, You changed my life forever and made my lifelong dream come true of being a mama. Without you, I wouldn’t get to be a mama to your precious siblings. You bring me more joy than I ever expected and I am beyond grateful to have watched you grow and learn these last three years. You have the sweetest heart, unmatchable determination, and the cutest giggle. * Happy Birthday my sweet boy!! 💙 * 📸: @lammslensphotography * #fostercare #singlefostermom #thisisfostercare #chooselove #momlife #fosterlove #fostertoadopt #adoption #mightymamasbyadoption #adoptionrocks #fostermama #fostering #fosterbaby #thisisus #fostercareis #itsworthit #lovemakesafamily #babymodel

** First Day of Preschool! ** * This kid melts my heart! His smile is contagious and he approaches each opportunity with excitement. * He walked into class and never looked back or hesitated once… he jumped at the chance for new friends and a new environment! * I can’t believe how big he is and how much he is thriving and growing. We can’t wait to see how much school helps him make even more leaps forward 💙 * Excuse the missing „4“ on the sign… we didn’t even notice it had fallen off until too late 🤣. #momfail * #firstdayofschool #fostercare #singlefostermom #lilbabyg #thisisfostercare #chooselove #momlife #fosterlove #fostertoadopt #adoption #mightymamasbyadoption #adoptionrocks #fostermama #fostering #fosterbaby #thisisus #fostercareis #itsworthit #lovemakesafamily

Déjà vu
O dva týždne sa scenár zopakoval a Katie dostala telefonát z nemocnice, kde sa ocitlo malé dievčatko, ktoré postihol rovnaký osud ako Graysona. „Jej zdravotný stav bol rovnaký ako pri Graysonovi, tak som si pomyslela, že už som to raz zvládla, zvládnem to aj druhý raz,“ priznala Katie. No Katie sa na malej princeznej niečo nezdalo a začala pátrať.
Hannah’s adopted!! Our miracle is finally permanent forever and my two babies will always be together ❤️ SO grateful to the village of people who helped us get here! 😘 📷: @ashleycreativeco #gotchaday #fostercare #singlefostermom #thisisfostercare #chooselove #momlife #fosterlove #fostertoadopt #adoption #mightymamasbyadoption #adoptionrocks #fostermama #fostering #fosterbaby #thisisus #fostercareis #itsworthit

She’s already into all the girly things… dolls, hair, shoes, clothes, etc! And most of all, she’s clearly the caretaker of the three kids. She wants to be just like mama and it’s just precious 💕. I love how she takes care of her brothers and is a lil mama herself! * 📸: @bri.lamm * #fostercare #singlefostermom #thisisfostercare #chooselove #momlife #fosterlove #fostertoadopt #adoption #mightymamasbyadoption #adoptionrocks #fostermama #fostering #fosterbaby #thisisus #fostercareis #itsworthit #lovemakesafamily

This lil one was SO cute as we practiced her walk down the aisle last night for her aunties wedding… if she dropped a petal she would stop and have to run back to pick it up. We have worked SO hard on her picking up after herself because she takes everything out when she plays… so she applied the same concept to the flower petals instead of dropping them down the aisle 🤣 So we have a bit of training today to see if we can work mastering her duty tonight. Either way she’s precious and will have the guests smiling and likely laughing! #flowergirl #wedding #thisisus #adoption #fostercare #singlefostermom #momlife #lovemakesafamily #shoptalulah

Pátranie po biologickej matke
Katie si všimla, že dievčatko ma na náramku rovnaké meno matky ako mal Grayson. Po zistení dátumu narodenia biologickej matky sa Katie potrvdilo, že ide o rovnakú osobu. Nakoniec sa Katie podarilo nájsť biologickú matku Graysona a Hannah, ktorá potvrdila to, že porodila chlapčeka a dievčatko čo znamenalo, že Grayson a Hannah sú pokrvný súrodenci. Matka na stretnutí s Katie taktiež priznala, že čaká ďalšie dieťa. Po jeho narodení si ho Katie vzala do pestúnskej starostlivosti a pracuje aj na adopcii.
It’s amazing how well these kiddos are handling the transition… we have been totally off schedule and without our nanny this past week, so lots of change and different mamas helping me out to make it all happen. They greet each with a smile and I feel like it’s been pretty fun for them to get to spend so much time with their friends! * We still have almost a week before we make it into the new house and a week after that a transition to our new and long term nanny. So still more big changes to come, but these three are why I work so hard and they really seem excited for it all! * #fostercare #singlefostermom #thisisfostercare #chooselove #momlife #fosterlove #fostertoadopt #adoption #mightymamasbyadoption #adoptionrocks #fostermama #fostering #fosterbaby #thisisus #fostercareis #itsworthit #lovemakesafamily

4 years ago on Mother’s Day I made the leap of faith and applied to be a foster parent… never once did I imagine when I pictured what the journey might look like that I would be a mom to three under three. But I wouldn’t change a thing and I couldn’t be more grateful to these lil ones who call me mama ❤️ I couldn’t do it without the help of my mom and all my mom friends who support me along this journey… motherhood is truly the most rewarding journey 🥰 📸: @lammslensphotography #fostercare #singlefostermom #thisisfostercare #chooselove #momlife #fosterlove #fostertoadopt #adoption #mightymamasbyadoption #adoptionrocks #fostermama #fostering #fosterbaby #thisisus #fostercareis #itsworthit #lovemakesafamily

While I can’t share his face as I vowed never to post him on social media so I could get him to take a photo with me 🤣, I can share how grateful I am for him 💕 It’s been almost a year since our first date thanks to our pastor and his wife for setting it up! And even after all the craziness of foster care, kids birthday parties and a surprise new addition to the family just months in… he has remained steady and by my side through it all. He loves me and my children and we couldn’t be luckier to get to hug this man on Valentine’s Day! #happyvalentinesday #fostercare #singlefostermom #thisisfostercare #chooselove #momlife #fosterlove #fostertoadopt #adoption #mightymamasbyadoption #adoptionrocks #fostermama #fostering #fosterbaby #thisisus #fostercareis #itsworthit #lovemakesafamily
