  • When They Came Back: The Hard Truth About Balancing Bio & Foster Kids (Season 2 Episode 3)
    Dec 4 2025

    In this powerful episode, Nikki & Larry open up about one of the most emotional chapters of their foster care journey — the day they had to discharge a child they deeply loved, and the unbelievable moment when that same child returned to their lives in a way they never expected.

    They share what it felt like to navigate grief, hope, and restoration all at the same time. And they go even deeper, talking honestly about something many foster parents struggle with but rarely discuss out loud: the delicate, often challenging balance between raising biological children and foster children under the same roof.

    How do you give everyone the love, structure, and attention they deserve? How do you manage the different needs, emotions, and expectations? And how do you protect the hearts of your bio kids while loving your foster kids wholeheartedly?

    Through tears, laughter, and transparency, Nikki & Larry share the lessons they learned, the moments that tested their faith, and the grace God provided every step of the way.

    If you’re fostering, adopting, considering the journey, or simply want a deeper look into the reality behind the smiles — this episode will speak to you in a meaningful way. 💛 Subscribe for more real conversations, real families, and real stories of hope.
