Single Mother Takes In Abandoned Baby Girl Only To Discover That She’s The Biological Sister Of Her Adopted Son

 

  

 Katie struggles with fertility issues, but she was always interested in adoption. Before adopting, Katie managed to foster four children at various times successfully. However, back in 2016, a caseworker told Katie about a 4-month-old nameless boy who was turned over at a local hospital.

 

After she fostered Grayson for 12 months, the court terminated his birth parent’s rights after they failed to come forward to claim him. And so, on the same day Grayson turned 11-months old, Katie became his legal parent, but of course, she was always his mother.

 

  

 Katie absolutely loved being a mother and had at first planned to wait a few more years before she would adopt another child. But less than a month after her adoption of Grayson became official. Another caseworker contacted her regarding a dire situation. A newborn baby girl was turned over to the same hospital, and she desperately needed someone to take her in.

 

"I know over the next 10 minutes and subsequent phone calls I made that afternoon, the phrase ‘I know I am crazy, but God is telling me to say ‘YES’ kept coming out of my mouth.”

Hours later, Hannah arrived at Katie’s house, and the little girl would soon find it to be her forever home with her new mom and sibling. But, when Katie took a closer look at the little girl’s tiny hospital bracelet, she made an exciting connection.

  

 Katie noticed that the birth mother’s name on the bracelet just so happened to match the name that Grayson’s birth mother had given at the hospital. Was this just a weird coincidence? Katie couldn’t shake the feeling that it meant something.

 

  

 While Grayson and Hannah didn’t appear to look anything alike, Katie had a sneaking suspicion that her two newly adopted children were related in some way.

 

"Grayson is half African American with beautiful darker skin and dark curly hair,” Katie wrote on her blog. "Baby Girl has a pale white skin tone with straight red-blonde hair.”

Katie soon became obsessed with discovering the truth, so much so that she even tracked down Hannah’s birth mother. The second Katie saw her; she knew that she was looking at her son’s birth mother as well.

  

 It turns out; the birth mother confessed that she had delivered a baby boy before she gave birth to Hannah. A DNA test later confirmed that both Hannah and Grayson were biological half-siblings.

 

"What if Baby Girl had gone to another family?” Katie asked in her blog post. "We would have never found her or Grayson’s mother. The connection would have never been made! I could not believe the miracle that had just happened.”

In December 2018, Katie also adopted Hannah.

"That day I said ‘Yes’ to taking the Baby Girl I felt the strangest feeling ever. I don’t think I had truly until that moment felt an undeniable calling from God. My brain was telling me to say ‘no’ because it made no sense and was not in my plans, but something inside kept saying you have to say ‘YES’. It is a sheer miracle, once in a lifetime chance… call it what you will, but it is amazing that my children found each other.”

 

 Katie is now in the process of adopting another baby — Hannah and Grayson’s new five-month-old sibling.

  

 Katie’s hoping and praying that they will be able to officially welcome their little brother Jackson to their happy family this year.

  

 

"I am constantly taking leaps of faith and building my wings on the way down,” Katie says. I am sharing my passions and loves along this crazy journey that God has blessed me with.”
