In 2019 my husband and I were working on our foster care license. Somehow I found this podcast around that same time. I feel like the conversations with Jamie and her guests have taught me SO MUCH MORE than I could have ever learned just sitting through my training. My perspective has changed for...Read full review »

What a wonderful feeling of community this podcast brings to anyone who is living the foster/adoptive parent life! It felt like I was there with a warm cup of coffee, joining right in with the wonderful conversations. Sometimes I even respond out loud, then catch myself and laugh. Thank you for...Read full review »

As a fellow foster and adoptive mom, this is such an encouraging part of my week. It’s comforting to hear other stories “like” ours and also get so excited about what our fostering future holds!

I love the interview-style podcasts of foster moms. The only reason why I didn't give her 5 stars is because I wish she spoke less about religion and more about foster care.Read full review »

Love the honestly that each guest brings to this show. Jamie is a great interviewer and constantly points us adoptive & foster moms back to Jesus and the Word! Always excited when a new episode pops up on my phone.

I found this podcast through the Goods and Better store and started with episode 1, now on episode 11. So far I am loving the many different backgrounds of these ladies have (infertility, bio kids, various adoptions, fostering, etc.) It is very healing to hear women with similar feelings,...Read full review »

Such an incredible podcast with truth and light for everyone, but especially for those with a heart for foster care and adoption and just any mom in general. I’m not a mom, but I binge listen to this podcast and can’t recommend it enough.

I listened to all the episodes available as we went through foster care training and awaited our first placement. We got our first placement 3 months ago and this has been the biggest help because there isn’t a strong community of foster families in our rural area. So thankful for this podcast...Read full review »

This podcast has been the best addition to my life. I love how real and raw the discussions are. I am someone who loves truth and REAL emotion without the fluff. This is it! Besides, we need more God influenced words around. I love that too!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this podcast. We jumped into foster care knowing NO ONE who had ever done it before and NOTHING about it. We are 8 kiddos in and I need this dose of continual learning on the go.

My only complaint is I want more episodes. I love the community this podcast gives, and I love hearing how other foster moms are coping and thriving and how God is working in their lives. I am always left wishing for more! Thank you!
