Miracles Really Do Happen...Grayson and Hannah's Journey Through Foster Care to Adoption

The journey began in June of 2016, when Katie, a single Colorado foster mom, received a call about a baby boy needing home that had been left at the hospital just hours after birth without any information leading them to who he really was. At 4 months old his unknown parents rights were terminated and then on the day he turned 11 months, Katie adopted him and gave him the name Grayson.
Less than two weeks later, Katie got another call about a baby girl who needed a temporary emergency placement that night... despite all the reason not too as Katie felt her plate was full with Grayson and his special needs, she said Yes. She felt God was telling her she was supposed to say yes.
What is revealed is the following weeks, is nothing short of a miracle and Katie has no doubt why God called her to say yes despite her fears... Hannah was Grayson's biological sister. God had orchestrated a miracle to bring these to siblings together unknowingly to anyone at the time.
And just days later, Katie met the mother of her son whom she had lost all hope of ever knowing.
In this video, Katie reveals all the details of this miracle and God's beautifully orchestrated plans which were far better than she ever imagined.

We’ve adopted 2 children from overseas (India and Russia) and one from foster care, all drug exposed. I’m convinced that every adoption story is a miracle in itself! It takes so many things falling into place, so much faith, trust, and hope in the things you cannot see or predict. Each of our children have their own ‘miracle story’, which I’m so thankful for, because the rejection they suffered at birth is one no child should experience.

Good for you! My brother is over 65 and his birth mother never responded to his very lovely note. He was able to find out who his DECEASED father was via a DNA TEST. My brother has no fear. His father was a fighter pilot.. now we know where the lack of fear and high energy. Bless you.

[@michellemoore2411]

What a wonderful young woman. These children are very lucky to have her as "Mom" in their corner.

[@degironaacadiz689]

Hello Katie. Writing from Spain. My wife and I adopted a 7 month old baby, 3 years ago, and he is also proof that God stil does miracles nowadays. He is the little brother to our eldest 5 y.o. daughter, Mireia.The Lord moves in mysterious ways!!! God bless you.

[@Suefromengland]

Don't ever doubt yourself, you are truly a wonderful human being with a huge beautiful heart. God bless you and your family.

[@Sunny-kl8wy]

“What if I had said no” wow, this really spoke to me. We’re in the process of becoming a foster family. The Lord has given me peace about doing it, but I’ve had some doubts on how we’re going to. This was total conformation to listen to the Lord and he will see it through. ❤️

[@emilymonsees2057]

I stumbled upon your story a few months ago (probably the beginning of being in quarantine) and my heart fell in love with your story. I work within the court system in adoptions and guardianship, and seeing the other side to agency/foster care adoptions is just so beautiful 💕 I cannot wait to hear more about your life and family through your channel. Keep it up Mama, you got this!💪🏻💪🏻

[@unscriptedmomlife]

Wow, God used you to keep those children together ! Amazing story.

[@beeward876]

I love your story so much! This was meant to be, God placed these children in your life! I cried during your story because good things are worth fighting for, and there is no doubt that God chose you as their mother. Continue to be blessed and stay close to God and listen as you have been doing. One of my favorite words to say when I am at a loss for words is WOW! So, wow what a beautiful ending to your story!

[@marissarottaris9049]

I would love to adopt from the foster care system. I really want a baby boy so bad.

[@sandybryant8458]

[@ashleymcnamara3409]

Your story is amazing! You can see the love you have for them in your face, voice, and the way you talk about them. They are super blessed to have you as their mommy. One of my favorite sayings is that God is an on time God, never late and never early 😊

[@leislavalon3391]

[@autum1638]

What a beautiful story and blessing. Thank you for sharing. You are all so lucky to have found each other. That was definitely God placing those children in your arms. You were and are the intended Mother he had for them. He just had to make it work in a different way.

[@NikkiandAnthony]

[@sylvbell1460]

happy for you

[@teresam2261]

Wow! I have been following your story for awhile and this video was amazing. It explained so much and as much as it was already a miracle, it made it even more so which I didn’t think was even possible. Thank you so much for this! And for being such an amazing mom to your children. They were definitely meant to be with you through the grace of God.

[@WoodandGraceBlog]

You're so welcome! Glad it helped to explain!!

[@mariajosedamon6765]

Following you from Argentina. Watched the whole video ☺️ I love this story! Those kids are the luckiest kids ever!

[@WoodandGraceBlog]

Thank you so much!

[@isas8627]

Can you talk more about Jackson? How you found out? Your reaction and thought process?

[@michelleflores1769]

This is such an incredibly beautiful story. Will you do a video for Hannah's adoption story?

[@WoodandGraceBlog]

I plan too!! We definitely don't have the greatest footage for hers unfortunately, but we have a billion photos so we will make one. It's on the list :)

[@francinelatorraca8885]

Crying my eyes out!!!!

[@alwaysfaded24]

This is great

[@jennequin]

Did the mom know Jackson was being placed with Hannah? It’s so wonderful that the three of them are together!

[@WoodandGraceBlog]

I do not believe that she did, but not completely sure.

[@beverlydonaldson3205]

Wow

[@rosealexander9007]

I Hope their biological mother stops having children though. She’s not the one talking care of them and most people can’t afford to take care of ten siblings for example. Otherwise I’m very happy for you and for your family that God has given you. I’m very happy the siblings are together.

[@sherrimercer7288]

Wow first time watching your channel. This same thing happened to a former coworker. She had her son at a couple months old and a little over a year later got a call for a newborn girl. She was the one that figured out they were siblings too.

[@belvagurr403]

I have a nephew named Grayson Boyd who is now a young man.

[@01GirlCali]

I am a single adoptive Mom and would love to chat with you. We have alot of similarities.

[@Camille719]

I am so confused. There is a lot of vague talk. Who are the Whitneys? Who are those two older girls? And what is the story with the biological mom? so to be clear nothing is clear. I have no idea how many kids are in the mix here and who has all of them.

[@loesjevervloet3769]

I believe it could be twelve. She has many blogs to read. All were given away.

[@bethdowsepollock8619]

I am trying to decide w my husband if we should do foster to adopt. Please 🙏 for us that we will have clarity and God's will. Thank you

[@Cosmicreepers13]

How do you manage caring for foster babies and working. Are you allowed in US to use day care services as a foster carer ?

[@faizaalam7283]

Why she gave birth if she doesnot want to take care of child's? I cant undrstand

[@Belleza7]

Because God had an angel mom that deserved to have these babies, and these babies deserved to have a loving mom just like her.❤️❤️❤️

[@lillywildflower]

I think there are reasons but I never understood before. Termination is not legal everywhere,not in Australia and unsure if every state in the US is the same. 3 years ago I had a car accident and know I could never look after a baby. My children are grown up but if I was young I couldn’t be a parent. Life changes. Maybe when she was pregnant life was good and in 9 months it changed

[@BernalAzul]

I have 2 adopted girls and 3 bio boys, I love your story, but I was left wondering, did you also adopt the 3rd child?

[@WoodandGraceBlog]

Yes I did! And we fostered a fourth as well :) But she will be adopted by a family that has two other of the siblings!

[@skybaby444]

"Divulge through it". That’s a weird word salad.

[@WintermelonChan]

14:50 "He's a very darkski-- dark complexion child" 💀💀 that's not dark lmao. He simply has brown skin.

[@Claudi.128]

God's ways are amazing, God's people are amazing.🇲🇽❤️
