Teisha didn’t set out to become a mom of eight. What began as a single yes slowly grew into something much bigger than she or her husband ever planned. In this episode, she walks us through the real timeline behind her family: kinship placements, reunifications, adoptions, and the moments in between where decisions weren’t simple, but they were clear.
We talk honestly about what foster care actually asks of you: not just opening your home, but doing the internal work to show up for kids who carry real trauma and real loss. Teisha shares the weight of those decisions, the tension between protecting your heart and choosing to love fully anyway, and why her biggest fear was never getting attached, but not doing enough.
This conversation also pulls back the curtain on what it looks like to raise a large, blended family rooted in both biology and adoption. From maintaining sibling connections across homes to making sure each child feels individually known, Teisha offers a grounded, lived-in picture of family that is messy, intentional, and deeply connected.
