When TyShon Kirkendoll and Breanna Johnson first opened their home to foster children, they never imagined the rollercoaster of emotions that would follow. They join us to share their poignant tales of fostering and adoption, balancing the gravity of temporary attachments with the hope of making a lasting impact on young lives. We explore the laughter that bubbles up in unexpected moments, like a comical Dragon Ball Z mix-up or sports betting quips, reflecting the genuine connections that make our journey with these compassionate individuals so rich and real.

Navigating the fostering system can be a maze of mandatory classes and home check-ins, but it's the heartwarming stories of keeping siblings together that tug at our listeners' heartstrings. As we recount adopting the adorable Demi and Devon, we shed light on the shifts in perception, from fostering as income to fostering as an avenue of deep, human connections. Our chat meanders through the lighthearted escapades at Hobby Lobby and the cherished quiet dinners at home, painting a vivid picture of the intricate tapestry of family life that extends beyond the fostering experience.

You might think you've heard all there is about high school sweethearts, but our trip down memory lane is anything but ordinary. We laugh over the quirks of coupledom—from the battle of Funko Pop collections to our navigational misadventures—bringing a smile with every relatable anecdote shared. And who knew bathroom habits could be so entertaining? We certainly didn't until Tycheon and Breonna opened up about theirs, adding a dose of hilarity to the everyday domestic life they've built. Join us for a heartfelt, laughter-filled episode that uncovers the beauty and hilarity of fostering, love, and life itself.
