Lost In The World

Katie Page is from Birmingham, Alabama. During her thirties, she went through a lot of hardships in life. She and her ex-husband split up, and she felt lost. On top of that, she had to put her dreams of a family on hold in the meantime.

She did some soul-searching in 2015 before deciding to make some major life changes. Katie was forced to relocate in order to begin a new chapter in her life. She got lucky and got a job offer that sounded like the answer to her problems.

Katie eventually made the decision to move to Denver, Colorado. She began working in the commercial construction industry there. On paper, her job title was integrated service manager for GE Johnson, a construction company.

She felt optimistic about this plan of hers. She also paid for a 4-bedroom property that others might call a fixer-upper. “The house I bought would require extensive work to transform into my vision and most of which I would have to do myself in order to afford it,” she said.

While the project was going to put a dent on her wallet, she was fine with it. After all, she preferred spending on this instead of other things she did not need. The renovation kept her busy and motivated, although she still felt unfulfilled…

Katie thought she was going to see things differently after getting a house and a new job. This did happen, but it still did not make her happy. She decided to start looking into adoption from then on.

Soon after she filed the application, she started getting cases assigned to her. The foster children she got lined up were not only kids who did not have any parents but also parents who did not approve of them.

She brought this up with her caseworker, and things began to slide into place after doing that. At one point, she got a phone call about a certain newborn baby boy. What was her plan?

It does not take a genius to figure out that the boy did not have it easy in life at all. The good thing is that this was all in the past now. They thought it was easy to care for someone so small.

Can you believe that the little angel did not even have a name? Of course, it was a big deal. His foster mother wanted him to have the best possible name, so she did her research.

They let her know that there was yet another abandoned newborn infant in need of a place to call home. The child at the hospital was called Hannah, apparently. What did Katie plan to do?

Hannah had certain similarities with Grayson. For one thing, she was discovered at the same hospital. Second, she was also exposed to illegal substances in the womb. What did Katie plan to do this time?

You always have a smile and want to giggle. You have more energy than the energizer bunny. You already are the best lil mama to your dolls and always want to help and love others. It’s an honor to be your mama and watch you grow and become a beautiful little lady!”

Miss Hannah wanted her hair curled just like mamas… and she sat so still and patiently for me (which is VERY hard for a 2 yo) while I curled her hair. I know it marks the first of many of these moments (I pray) in which we get to have special mama daughter moments,” Katie wrote.

On Instagram, Katie couldn’t stop gushing about her son, writing, “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.

Grayson had decided that he was too big to sleep in his crib any longer, so it was time for him to upgrade to a big boy bed! Katie made certain to get him a nice one, and he has expressed an interest in sleeping in it. Grayson’s new bed was, however, a little difficult to get to. Katie, on the other hand, considered the bed to be a success. She went so far as to post this on Instagram: “I think it’s safe to say the toddlers like Grayson‘s new big boy bed… Or at least the bed we are trying to convert Grayson into since he’s decided the crib is no longer an option.”

Anyone with a large family knows how difficult it is to get everyone together for a family photo. It can be a real struggle at times! So, kudos to Katie for pulling it off! She was so ecstatic about her achievement that she couldn’t help but brag about it on social media. “And I snagged the second photo of all five of us almost a year after the first… I will take what I can get and always keep my promise not to show my guy’s face (thank goodness he’s SO tall). Grateful for this crazy crew of mine! Note: we even all match for a Sunday service… he’s a keeper for not finding my love of coordinating outfits with my kids annoying. He showed up at the house this morning dressed in camo shorts before any of us were dressed… so not much he could do when I coordinated around his outfit.”

She was overjoyed at the prospect of being able to tell her story in any way she could. “I never thought we would be in @goodhousekeeping magazine, but life throws you amazing curves.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s treatment of their children is incredible. Yes, until September 2016, the most beloved Hollywood couple, Brad and Angelina, were still known as the modern-day power couple of Hollywood. They’ve been together for more than ten years, and the paparazzi have been following their family’s every move during that time. The couple has adopted a total of six adorable children. In 2006, they welcomed Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, their first biological daughter.

Brangelina

Angelina Jolie was a single mother when she gave birth to her first child in March 2002, while dealing with her divorce. In order to contact her siblings, Sonya adopted Maddox Chivan, a Cambodian orphan, and her six-month-old infant. Fortunately, three years ago she adopted another boy and named him Zahara Marley.

And when Angelina Jolie adopted Maddox Chivan before her relationship with Brad Pitt, Maddox Chivan was still considered Jolie and Pitt’s first child. The only thing the fans figured out after that was the couple’s adoption of Zahara Marley. The nation greeted the couple with open arms, and in 2005, they learned that they were expecting a boy.

As we all know, the mainstream media criticizes a lot of famous people. The couple was in the same situation.
