Katie Page knew the foster system could be harsh. Some kids end up bouncing from home to home, sometimes taken in by people who don't look after them properly, or worse: only take them in for the checks. Of course, there are also many happy stories about foster families — stories of positivity and love. When Katie looked into fostering in her early 30s, she didn't expect it would be easy. But she had no idea just what she was up against...
Her Dream
When Katie Page was in her 20s, she dreamed of the perfect life: a husband, some kids, a white-picket fence, and a dog named Spot. Everything seemed to be precisely on track, but life doesn't always turn out the way we hope.
Split Up
In her early 30s, Katie's marriage became rocky and that eventually led to a divorce, leaving Katie devastated and in need of a new start. All she had ever wanted was to have a family, but it felt like her dream was quickly slipping away.
Health Problems
Not only was she now without a husband and potential father, but she had already been struggling with infertility issues. The thought that she may never be a mother broke her heart all over again.
Staying Upbeat
Despite all of her pain, she remained strong — after all, she had to go on and make herself happy. She got a new job and used the money to buy a new house, but it didn't fix all her problems.
