Nobody is blind to the fact that life is constantly throwing us curveballs. Sometimes those curveballs make things messy, complicated and cause us to struggle. On the other hand, some curveballs make us feel like fate is on our side. Some create beautiful, exciting plot twists in life.

No one can predict where his or her life will end up. Possibilities are endless as we are constantly presented with new paths in life. Oftentimes, when one door closes, another one opens for us, no matter how long it may take to find it. Sometimes, life requires patience for things to fall into place. It is a wonderful thing when hard times pass and carry on to a new, positive chapter.

Everyone has their own opinion on fate vs. coincidence. However, some events in life make it hard to believe that fate does not exist. Sometimes, certain things just seem too miraculous to be coincidental. When everything seems to be falling apart and an incredible thing happens to us, we wonder if it was meant to be or if it just happened to, well, happen.

One family in Weldon Spring, Missouri, is a prime example of this topic. After endless ups and downs throughout their lives together, everything ended up falling into place. They never gave up hope when things didn’t go their way. When all was said and done, they carried on to adopt a beautiful baby girl from China. When they decided to get a DNA test done out of pure curiosity, their whole world turned upside down.

Adoption alone is such a beautiful part of a couple’s life. Taking in a beautiful child to better the child’s life while at the same time bettering their own lives is an unfathomable feeling. It is a gift to everyone involved. This family in particular was lucky enough to get a bonus gift within this adoption. No one could have expected the shocking DNA results that this family received as they were close to impossible. One might say it must have been fate.
