WHY I WROTE JUST REALLY JOSEPH

Hi, friends! I'm so grateful you're here.

As an adoptive mom, I scoured the internet for a children's book about adoption that would help foster conversation about my son's identity, his skin color, and his birth mother. When my search came up short, I began dreaming and brainstorming about a relatable children's book that connects with children in an age-appropriate, charming way.

Inspired by Joseph (who's five and joined our family via international adoption) and Asher (who's three and joined our family the old-fashioned way!), I wrote Just Really Joseph -- a story about adoption, and what just really makes a family.

I'm humbled that 100 percent of sales will flow directly to Katelyn's Fund Orphan Ministry, a 501(c)3 that advocates for family preservation in Haiti, as well as provide international and domestic adoption grants to families across the U.S.

I hope that a few minutes of reading Just Really Joseph will, as my son Joseph says, "make your heart just really happy." 

To all the little ones, all the parents who love them, and a God who makes all things new,

​Kayla
