Hello, my friend
Whether you are walking through infertility or a mama by birth, foster care or adoption, you are welcome here.
We do our best to be trauma-informed and gospel focused.
Enjoy rich conversations and encouragement that will give you the confidence and joy you need to walk in the good works God has laid out for you. (Ephesians 2:10).
All my best,
Kim Patton
My husband Kevin and I were married for ten years before adopting our daughters in 2020 and 2021. I spent years in denial, believing we would get pregnant naturally.
Infertility gave me a gift I can see now. It has allowed me to empathize with others as they walk through some of the hardest paths life gives us.
God's grace is enough, even on the darkest days.

If infertility was compared to a desert, than motherhood has been a jungle. Two babies in 15 months during COVID was straight up bananas. It still is, as we are navigating adoption conversations, special needs, sensory differences, and being a transracial family in a small town.

As parents of toddlers, we moved to South Carolina to work in a group home for teenage girls in the foster care system. We spent two years serving 30 teens, and walked away from the experience with memories lasting forever.
I loved those teens, but the hardest part was that I could not heal their pain and trauma. Having adopted our daughters from birth, we stepped away from foster parenting to focus on raising them.
