Adoption rescued today… a cat? A dog? Definitely.
Children? Not so much.
Words matter.

Adoption saves lives ...
when “forever home” means a scratching post.

Meet the baby we saved through adoption.
It sheds. It purrs. It judges your life choices.

Adoption saves lives, cats' lives! Not children’s.

Context matters. Education changes the narrative.

Because how we talk about adoption actually matters.
Words aren’t just words. They shape how we see the world and how we see each other. In adoption, the stories we tell, the assumptions we challenge, and the phrases we normalize make a real difference.

A single curious question, a little honesty, or a small truth can shift the narrative more than a thousand lectures ever could.

Books that spark conversation, promote accurate language, and encourage honest communication.

Some stories need space to be heard.
Some change happens quietly, one careful step at a time.
AdoptionReads accompany you along the way, with books that spark conversation, encourage accurate language, and open space for honest communication.

Happy New Year!
Bigger dreams. Braver projects.
More growth. More fun.
Let's rock 2026!

Still processing this one…

I’m truly honoured, incredibly happy, and honestly still a little in shock and disbelief.
My book, The Little Book of Nosy Questions About Adoption, was recognized with a 2nd Place Outstanding Creator Award across four categories, including Best Non-Fiction Book of Fall/Winter 2025, something I would have never, ever imagined seeing next to my work.

After years of living quietly in my head, followed by months of focused creation, this book finally came to life. It’s designed to support reflection, emotional growth, and meaningful conversations around adoption; topics that are incredibly close to my heart and deeply important for adoptees, adoptive families, and anyone hoping to adopt.
This award means so much to me, and seeing work like this recognized, honoured, and welcomed into the mainstream feels especially meaningful.
These are the conversations that deserve space, visibility, and celebration.
My heart is very full today.

3 days till Christmas!

For adoptive families, that means hugs, chaos, and more times than we can count.... intrusive or clueless questions.

The Little Book of Nosy Questions About Adoption helps you:
+ Reflect on your journey
+ Set boundaries
+ Serve witty comebacks (or stay blissfully silent)

Last-minute gift? Absolutely!!
Because adoption isn’t small talk, and your story and your journey deserve respect.

I couldn’t resist having a little fun with Canva tonight!
The past seven days have been a complete emotional rollercoaster, in the very best way.
Erin’s Journal received its second award, earning the Author Shout Recommended Read award.
The Little Book of Nosy Questions was also honoured at the Outstanding Creator Awards (more details coming very soon, promise!).
And after all of that… my books officially launched 🎉
The Best Day Ever (my first book and bestseller) is now available in French, Spanish, Italian, Cantonese, and, since December 20, Mandarin Chinese.
My newest release, Asking Questions About My Adoption Helps Me Grow, is now available in French, Italian, and Spanish.
Visit www.adoptionreads.com to discover these titles, and many more!

EDIT _
my book actually landed 2nd place in 4 (FOUR!!!) categories!!
- Best non-fiction book fall/winter 2025
- Educational and reference book
- Family
- Personal development
I was over the moon with one, but now, i'm just...speechless!

WAIT, ....WHAT?!
My book The Little Book of Nosy Questions About Adoption just won 2nd PLACE at the OUTSTANDING CREATOR Awards (yes, O.U.T.S.T.A.N.D.I.N.G. C.R.E.A.T.O.R🤯) in the Personal Development Book category!!
So proud, so grateful, and incredibly thrilled that a book encouraging reflection on adoption (and challenging common misconceptions) has been recognized!!

Countdown chaos: 6 days until Christmas, 1 day until the big book drop.
Eleven books this year… yes, I’m basically the story-machine you didn’t know you needed.

Yesterday I DROVE (sigh) in the blizzard. It was one of the scariest road experience I've had!

7 days till Christmas.
2 days till my book drops.

At this point, I’m wrapping presents and wrapping up dreams.
Festive chaos? Yes.
Worth it? Absolutely.

(Countdown officially unhinged.)
