00:00Welcome to Echoes of Faith, where stories of hope, grace, and redemption come to life.
00:06Each story is a journey of faith, a testament to the power of God's love,
00:11and a reminder that no one is ever too far from His grace.
00:15Every note Taylor played carried a question.
00:19Who am I? Where do I truly belong?
00:22She had loving parents, friends, and dreams that soared,
00:26yet her heart longed for something more.
00:30In Harmony Found, the next story in the Echoes of Faith series,
00:33we follow a daughter's prayer, a mother's longing,
00:36and the music that finally brought them home to one another.
00:40Taylor Booker, a 21-year-old from Nashville, Tennessee,
00:44was determined to chase her dreams with every fiber of her being.
00:48Studying music in college, she had a passion for singing and playing the piano.
00:53An integral part of her church choir, her lively laughter and outgoing nature
00:58made her the center of attention at any gathering.
01:02Her friends treasured her company, and she always had a circle of people around her.
01:06Growing up in a nurturing household with two loving parents,
01:10Taylor was always aware of her adoption.
01:12Despite being happy with her life,
01:14she couldn't shake the longing to discover her biological roots
01:17and unravel the mystery of her birth.
01:19After mustering up the courage,
01:22she expressed her desire to find her birth parents
01:25and understand why they gave her up for adoption.
01:28Despite David and Lily's reassurance and support,
01:31the reality of their search hit them hard when she discovered
01:34that the adoption records were sealed,
01:36and the First Step agency, where she was adopted,
01:39had shut down, along with sealed adoption records.
01:42Taylor spent hours sitting at her desk,
01:46combing through piles of paperwork and folders,
01:49determined to find even the smallest hint or lead.
01:52But with each new search,
01:54her expression grew more disappointed as she came up empty-handed.
01:58How is it going?
01:59her mother asked,
02:00sticking her head in the room.
02:03She sighed and looked at her mother with frustration
02:05written all over her face.
02:08I feel like I'm getting nowhere,
02:10she expressed.
02:11All I want is to understand my roots.
02:16Lily's hand fell gently on Taylor's shoulder,
02:18offering comfort.
02:20I know it's not easy,
02:22she said softly,
02:23but we'll figure it out.
02:26Sometimes,
02:27the journey to finding answers is a long and winding one.
02:31Despite facing challenges,
02:33Taylor refused to give up on her journey
02:35to discover her true identity.
02:38She found comfort in prayer,
02:39asking for divine guidance
02:41in uncovering the truth about her biological parents.
02:45Several months had passed
02:46since Taylor first started her search for her biological parents.
02:51Despite numerous dead ends and unreturned calls,
02:54she refused to give up hope.
02:55She continued to pray for guidance
02:58and believed that one day
02:59she would find the answers she was seeking.
03:02One Sunday after choir practice,
03:05Taylor was packing up her sheet music
03:06when Pastor Thomas Rand approached her with a gentle smile.
03:11He was a figure of wisdom and compassion at their church,
03:14and Taylor always felt comforted in his presence.
03:17Hi, Taylor,
03:18he said warmly.
03:20Can I have a word with you?
03:22Of course,
03:23Pastor Rand,
03:24Taylor replied,
03:25curious as to why he wanted to speak with her.
03:28I heard from your parents
03:29about your search for your birth parents,
03:31he said gently,
03:32and I may have some information that could help you.
03:36Taylor's heart skipped a beat at his words.
03:39Really?
03:40What is it?
03:41She asked eagerly.
03:42My wife works at the county records office,
03:45and she told me that they recently found
03:47some old adoption records,
03:48he explained.
03:50They were displaced during an office renovation,
03:52but have now been recovered.
03:54There may be records from first step.
03:58That's amazing,
03:59Taylor exclaimed,
04:01feeling a spark of hope ignite within her.
04:03Do you think they could be mine?
04:06She glanced up.
04:07The Lord does answer prayers.
04:10Pastor Rand nodded.
04:11We won't know until we look at them together,
04:14he replied kindly.
04:16Overwhelmed with emotions,
04:18Taylor thanked him profusely for his help
04:20before rushing off to tell her parents the good news.
04:23Together with Pastor Rand,
04:25they went to the county records office the following week
04:27and poured over the newly discovered adoption records.
04:31After several hours of searching,
04:33they finally found one that matched all of Taylor's information.
04:37Tears welled up in Taylor's eyes
04:39as she read through the file
04:40and discovered details about her biological parents,
04:44their names,
04:45ages,
04:46occupations,
04:47and even a photo of them taken when she was born.
04:51It's them,
04:52she whispered,
04:53her voice trembling with emotion.
04:56The week after finding her biological parents' information,
05:00Lily and David drove Taylor to Lorraine's home.
05:02Are you sure you're ready for this, sweetheart?
05:05Lily asked,
05:06placing a comforting hand on Taylor's shoulder.
05:09Taylor nodded,
05:10her eyes fixed on the door of Lorraine's house.
05:13I've been waiting for this moment my whole life,
05:16she said determinedly.
05:18As they walked towards the door,
05:20it suddenly swung open
05:21and a woman appeared.
05:23She had short black hair,
05:25styled in a bobcut,
05:26and beautiful brown eyes
05:28that looked straight at Taylor.
05:29In that instant,
05:31both women knew,
05:33this was Lorraine.
05:35Without saying a word,
05:37Lorraine pulled Taylor into a tight hug,
05:40tears streaming down both their faces.
05:43It felt like an eternity
05:44before either of them let go.
05:47I can't believe it's really you,
05:49Lorraine whispered through tears,
05:51looking her up and down.
05:54Taylor could only nod in response
05:56as she took in every detail
05:58of her birth mother's face,
06:00the same eyes she had inherited,
06:02the same nose and smile
06:04she saw in old photos of herself growing up.
06:07They moved into the living room.
06:10Finally, Lorraine spoke up.
06:13I have thought about you every day
06:14since I gave you up for adoption,
06:17she said softly.
06:18I always hoped that one day
06:20we would meet again.
06:23Tears welled up in Taylor's eyes
06:24as she reached out
06:25to take Lorraine's hand.
06:28Me too.
06:30Lorraine's voice trembled
06:31as she spoke.
06:32I just want you to know
06:33that not a day goes by
06:35where I don't regret
06:36the decision we made
06:37to give you up.
06:39She quickly wiped away
06:40a tear that had escaped her eye.
06:42She looked over at Taylor
06:43with sadness in her eyes.
06:45I'm sorry for everything
06:47you've been through,
06:48but you have blossomed
06:50into a beautiful young lady.
06:52Taylor choked up.
06:53Your father,
06:55may his soul rest in peace,
06:57passed away a year ago.
06:59He also had a love for music,
07:00Lorraine revealed.
07:02He played the guitar
07:03with such emotion
07:04as if it were a part of him.
07:07Music was our way of communicating,
07:09the rhythm that brought us together.
07:11Taylor felt a sense of loss
07:13at the news of her father's passing,
07:15but at the same time,
07:16she was grateful for the opportunity
07:18to know more about him.
07:19As they chatted into the wee hours,
07:23Taylor discovered more
07:24about her parents' past.
07:26Lorraine and Shane
07:27were high school sweethearts
07:28who loved making music together.
07:31They dreamed of starting a band,
07:33but when Lorraine got pregnant with Taylor,
07:35their plans got derailed.
07:37Their folks weren't keen
07:38on their relationship
07:39or music dreams,
07:41so they convinced Lorraine and Shane
07:42to give up Taylor for adoption.
07:44It broke their hearts,
07:47but they believed
07:47it was best for Taylor,
07:49so they reluctantly agreed.
07:51As Taylor listened to her mother
07:53reminisce about her life
07:54before she was born,
07:55she couldn't help but feel
07:56a connection to this woman
07:58who gave her life,
07:59someone who understood her
08:01on a deeper level
08:01than anyone else ever could.
08:04Several hours later,
08:06as Taylor bid farewell to Lorraine,
08:08she felt a newfound sense
08:09of completeness,
08:11her heart filled with gratitude
08:12for the journey
08:13that had led her
08:13to this moment of discovery.
08:16The Lord had answered her prayer
08:17and she was thankful.
08:19The next morning,
08:20Taylor found herself
08:21at her dad's grave.
08:23As she stood there,
08:24tears rolled down her cheeks
08:26while she gently placed flowers
08:27on his headstone.
08:29I wish I could have met you,
08:32she whispered softly.
08:34In that moment,
08:35Taylor felt a strong connection
08:36to her dad,
08:37even though they'd never met.
08:39She realized that his love
08:41for music still lived on in her.
08:44It wasn't just about finding out
08:45where she came from.
08:47It was about sharing a special bond
08:49through the music they both loved,
08:51even after he passed away.
08:53Every prayer,
08:54every unanswered question,
08:56had carried Taylor
08:57to this moment of grace.
08:59In finding her family,
09:00she also found herself
09:01and the melody of God's love
09:03that had been playing all along.
09:05This was Harmony Found.
