Kim and I discuss her journey to becoming a cottage foster mom to teenage girls, recounting her reluctance, fears, and compassion and love she's gained in her vocation as a foster mom.

We talk about the trials, joys, and laughs involved in raising both toddlers and teens and the ways she's grown and changed on her unexpected journey of motherhood and foster care.

Kim Patton is an adoptive and foster mama living in South Carolina with her family. In her free time, she is usually reading a memoir, taking her girls to the playground or playing tennis with her husband at the YMCA. Her second book, "Nothing Wasted: Struggling Well through Difficult Seasons" encourages readers to recognize personal growth amidst hard times. She writes at kimpatton.com, and has been the host of the Book Therapy podcast since 2022.
