S02Ep11 What to Expect when you're NOT Expecting with Kate Sexton

When Kate Sexton agreed to foster little Will, she thought the arrangement would be temporary. But soon, it became clear that this Will's biological mom was battling severe addiction and was unable to provide for him and offer him safety. So, just like that, Kate began her journey to motherhood. Immediately, she had to learn everything from clipping tiny toenails and bottle feeding to helping Will heal from trauma, neglect and very early exposure to substances. Kate will be the first to tell you that mothering Will helped her to heal her own wounds and expanded her capacity in ways she never thought possible. Their story is beautiful and inspiring, and Kate truly demonstrates what it means to commit to a life of care and compassion.
