IT’S OFFICIAL

Finally, in May 2017, Grayson became legally and officially the son of Katie. He became a permanent part of her life, a child of her own at just 11 months old. Nothing made Katie any happier than that she was finally starting to build their family officially. With the help of the institution and their equally good and competent lawyers, the process went well and smoothly.

THE BATTLE

The next feat of the battle for Katie and Grayson was one regarding his physical condition. Although the hospital doctors confirmed to her about the long-term effects of substance abuse by Grayson’s biological mom on him, Grayson was also faced with physical challenges of delayed developments and milestones. So eventually, the effects of substance took a toll on him but Katie, now his legal mom was prepared to do her best for him. Such situations as this called for health coverage insurance prepared beforehand.

THE WAIT

At the time when Grayson was already eighteen months old, another placement for fostering was being offered to Katie. However, the time wasn’t just yet right with Grayson still being young and needing a lot of care. But Katie was considering taking in a more long-term arrangement. It’s no denying how she took on motherhood to a higher degree and to a whole new definition.

DESERVING OF BEST

As Grayson celebrated his first birthday, Katie was hoping to expand their family. But with the age and condition of Grayson, to embark on another process might cause her lesser time and attention on Grayson as she was very focused on him. So far, she seemed to have it all going. In the long run, she developed good time, affairs and money management.

MORE CHANGE

After a month Grayson became officially her son, Katie received another call. This time it was for adoption of another child who was a bit older than Grayson. She carefully gave it a thought considering the welfare of Grayson. But with her big home having plenty of space and an excellent home security system, and with this kind of irrisistable opportunity, she decided to give it a go. This changed hers and Grayson’s life forever.

BABY HANNAH IS HOME

Another baby was abandoned in a nearby hospital and Katie was the institution’s favourite go-to. The lovely baby girl, Hannah was desperately in need of a loving home and Katie welcomed her with all heart-out. Despite Katie’s apprehension of taking in another one, the best thing she knew to do was to do everything she could to help the little girl. Fortunately, her home has even flooring and plenty of space for Grayson, Hannah and her other time-to-time foster kids to crawl and play.

AN ODD COINCIDENCE

Coincidentally, Hannah also turned out to have the same background as Grayson of exposure to illegal substances while still in her biological mother’s womb. What’s more, she was also abandoned at the very same local hospital nearby. Just like that, Katie’s instinct would push her through caring and doing what’s best for the baby. Despite how she felt, she should remain focused on both of them. With the latest development, she knew a trip to the lawyers to start the process would soon take place.

MAKING THE DECISION

Through the opportunities and the circumstances, Katie felt guided by God. In all the opportunities presented she has given her resounding yes, even though there may have been some delays to some, regardless, still a yes. While in the discussion of proceeding to take Hannah in or not, Katie felt the same feeling as she felt when she took Grayson home for the first time. Again, there’s that maternal instinct, that bond that connected her to Hannah. And yes, she has that experience of motherhood in that degree.

ADDITION TO THE FAMILY

Taking in Hannah has given Katie another degree of nervousness and expectation. She felt understandably nervous about her decision and its effects on her adopted children. Looking back to her decisions, all she knew to do was accept Hannah as what she did on her son, Grayson. By the time Hannah was dropped off from the hospital to meet her new family, nothing was comparable to the feeling of welcoming her to her new home and family for the very first time.

ANOTHER COINCIDENCE

When finally Baby Hannah was welcomed into her new home, and new mom; Katie noticed something on Hannah’s risk. She was wearing the hospital bracelet, which had her mother’s name on it. Immediately, she recalled how it was the same name as indicated on the hospital bracelet of her son, Grayson. Katie just knew something’s up. There were so many similarities with the details of both babies to the degree that their biological mother’s date of birth were very close.
