    Guest:

    Today we’re joined by Kimberly Lloyd and Kim Yancey — two Dripping Springs moms who have built their families through fostering and adoption, one brave “yes” at a time. Between them, they’ve fostered over 20 children and adopted 11, and their story started when they were each caring for a sibling pair — a little boy and his newborn sister — and decided to walk the journey together.

    Kimberly is a former pediatric medical professional and full-time advocate for her bustling crew of nine. Kim is a longtime surrogacy and adoption professional, a six-time gestational surrogate, and writes adoption home studies while raising her own blended, beautifully busy family.

    They are here to talk openly about the joy, the heartbreak, the humor, and the holy chaos of foster care, and what it really means to build a family with intention, compassion, and a whole lot of faith.

    Stories that deserve to be told! Based in Dripping Springs, Steve Mallett and Michelle Lewis invite you into their world of engaging conversations with guests who bring fresh ideas, humor, and wisdom to the table. They dive into everything from life’s absurdities to community quirks, adding their signature twist of small-town charm and bold candor. Think of them as the funny neighbors with the best stories, the ones who always tell it like it is. With a healthy dose of Hill Country spirit, they explore local gossip and topics that connect us all—proving you don’t need to be famous to be extraordinary; you just need a microphone and the courage to share your voice. Every episode is a mix of laughter, insight, and connection, making this podcast one you won’t want to miss!
