In this episode of Moms Take Ten, Lyssa is joined by Kayla Moffitt of @makingthemoffits for an honest and deeply encouraging conversation about foster care, adoption, and the realities of parenting children from hard places. Kayla shares her family's unexpected journey from planning for two foster children to welcoming five siblings into their home—and how God expanded their capacity along the way.

Together, they talk about the tension of "uncomfortable, not unsafe," navigating relationships with biological families, and the importance of naming our discomfort so it doesn't quietly shape our parenting. Kayla also speaks candidly about the challenges of trauma-informed parenting, the impact it has on a family, and the necessity of finding support and community.

Whether you're in the foster/adoptive space or simply walking through a hard season of motherhood, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone—and that inviting others in may be one of the most powerful steps you can take.
