This July, we’re revisiting some of the most powerful and moving episodes of The ReStoried Podcast in our Replay Series. These stories have left a lasting impact—and we believe they’re worth hearing again.

In this replay episode, we revisit the unforgettable story of Stacey, a devoted foster and adoptive mom, and Asia, a courageous biological mom whose journey through addiction and mental health struggles led to her losing custody of her children.

Stacey’s path crossed with Asia’s when she became the foster parent to Asia’s kids—offering not just a stable home, but a lifeline of hope during Asia’s darkest moments. Through Stacey’s consistent love, guidance, and encouragement, Asia found the strength to pursue treatment and step into recovery—with her faith leading the way.

What unfolded was more than a foster care placement; it was the beginning of a redemptive relationship. Today, Asia calls Stacey not just a friend, but a mother figure. Together, they now co-parent the children they both love, a living example of what’s possible when grace, support, and connection come together.

Join us as we replay this powerful episode that beautifully highlights the importance of relationship in foster care—and the incredible things that happen when we show up for one another.
