EP 8: Necessities

In this episode, I’m sharing what those first couple of weeks of foster life really looked like once the big emotions settled and the to-do list kicked in. Think doctor appointments, home visits, daycare searches, and a whole lot of extra coordinating I didn’t know I had signed up for. Plus, a shocking introduction that nobody saw coming!

EP 7: Introductions

In this episode, I share the experience of introducing my son to my family for the first time. After keeping my foster journey private for months, I finally made the call and surprised my parents with some life changing news. I discuss the FaceTime reveal, their first visit, and the reality of navigating family dynamics as a brand new parent. It’s an honest look at managing my expectations, sorting through emotions, and how first introductions don’t always unfold the way you imagine.

EP 6: Gotcha Day

In this episode, I’m finally sharing Gotcha Day! The day I got the call, met my son, and stepped into fatherhood. After months of preparation and waiting, everything changed with a single phone call.I talk about the anticipation, the nerves, and the overwhelming mix of fear and love that came with bringing him home for the first time. It’s a deeply emotional day, one I still hold close and the reason Gotcha Day is the day we celebrate as our family anniversary.
