Room for One More: Kayla Lanier's Journey into Fostering
This is Kayla Lanier’s story—a tender, honest journey into the world of foster care, rooted in childhood memories, quiet callings, and the kind of love that changes everything. From the moment she first learned what it meant to foster, to the day she and her husband opened their home to a child for the first time, Kayla takes you through every step—raw, unfiltered, and full of heart. She speaks openly about the emotional weight of her first placement: the fear, the guilt, the shame of feeling unprepared… and the beauty that somehow bloomed in the middle of it all.
