When life did not go as planned, Julie said yes to something even

greater.

In this inspiring episode of Tempered, Mental Health Therapist Julie

shares how she and her husband moved beyond the heartbreak of

infertility and stepped into the beauty of adoption—raising two amazing

children. Later, they opened their home again to foster children,

offering safety, love, and hope where it was needed most.

Julie’s story is a testament to what God can do with surrendered

hearts—and she doesn’t hold back when it comes to what churches and

believers must do to support families walking the adoption and foster

care journey.

💡 Whether you're considering fostering, looking for ways to support

others, or just want to be encouraged—this episode is for you.
