Adoption

Our family’s journey through foster care and adoption was messy, beautiful, exhausting, and one of the best things we’ve ever done. If you’re walking (or even just considering) the path of fostering to adopt, this section is for you. I’m sharing our real-life experiences—no sugarcoating—along with tips, encouragement, and resources that helped us navigate the system, build trust with our kids, and keep our sanity intact along the way.

Whether you’re knee-deep in paperwork or in the thick of attachment struggles, you’ll find support, stories, and maybe a few laughs from someone who’s been there. Because while it’s not always easy, it’s absolutely worth it!
