Hi, I'm Kate.
I created ConnectInUs to share what I wished I'd had: developmentally appropriate, family-friendly tools to help parents through the complicated conversations — so kids grow up knowing their story, their family's values, and exactly who they are: grounded, connected, and joyful.
There are tools for all families. There are also tools for particular families with unique needs — families navigating adoption, donor conception, LGBTQ+ family-building, divorce, and more.
Kids who own their stories.
Families that build their values.
CONNECTINUS · GROWINUS BOOKS
WHERE TO BEGIN
The Books We Needed
Adoption
For families navigating adoption — where your child's story is theirs to know, from the start.
Donor Conception
For families built using donor conception — where your child's origin is theirs to know, from the start.
LGBTQ+ Families
For LGBTQ+ families — so your family can be a given, not an explanation your child has to share.
Family Changes
For families finding a new shape — with love still at the center.
FAMILY VALUES
Name them.
Frame them.
Live them.
From a free quick start to a full guided experience — bring your family's values out of your head and into your home, in your child's words and yours.
