I met “Busy Bee” as her nurse.

At the time, I didn’t know I was meeting my daughter.

In this episode of Holyoaks Rise: Stories of Rising Through the Unexpected, I share the story of how a hospital shift turned into something far bigger than medicine. We talk about foster care, the long road of “all the ologies” TM, the uncertainty, the paperwork, the prayers, and the quiet moments that change everything.

This isn’t just a story about adoption.

We talk about bringing a premature baby home, navigating foster care and adoption, searching for medical answers, and what it really feels like to stand on both sides of the hospital crib. This episode validates both my experiences as a NICU Nurse and my journey as a medical mom.

If you’re walking through the NICU, considering foster care or adoption, or learning how to parent a medically complex child the story is for you.

It’s a story about rising above diagnosis and uncertainty.

About how sometimes the hardest roads lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.

And how a busy little bee changed my life forever.
