Love this episode? Send me a message here!


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.
