Embark on a journey of self-discovery with the Re-Birthday Book, a memory journal designed to be a companion through the seasons of personal and family identity transformation. This book is dedicated to those navigating the intricate and profound realms of genetic discovery—including individuals who are adopted, donor-conceived, or those who have had an Non-Paternal Events (NPE), misattributed parentage, or unexpected DNA surprise.
This is more than a mere collection of pages; it stands as a testament to your personal evolution, a celebration of your unique story, and a validation of the resilience and bravery that define your journey. As the seasons change and bring new growth, your life chapters too unfold. Within these pages, find not only understanding and support but also a space to document each step of your reawakening—through photos, cherished mementos, and reflective writing prompts that delve into the depths of your experiences, family connections, and evolving identity.
The Re-Birthday Book is a chronicle of your journey through every season of transformation, inviting you to give your voice, your memories, and your legacy a place of honor within its pages. This is Your Story—written by you, for you, and about the incredible journey that shapes who you are.
Kara is a mother, advocate, and storyteller. Her life’s journey is filled with family twists from the murder of her grandparents to a DNA surprise at age 43. She has appeared on many podcasts, in multiple television interviews and articles, and is a frequent speaker on the complex intersection of genetic information, identity, and family dynamics and secrets.
My Re-Birthday Book is a brilliant addition to any home library for the MPE community. It seamlessly blends the elements of a baby book with the profound journey of an adult finding their way in the world. Kara’s ability to capture the essence of human experience makes this book not only a delightful read but also a thought-provoking one. This helpful tool will walk you through rediscovering your identity and reflecting on your journey of self-discovery. “My Re-Birthday Book” is a testament to the enduring power of family, the importance of embracing our past, and the beauty of writing our own stories.
What a wonderful tool to re-write my childhood baby book and revealingly communicate who I have grown to become. The Re-Birthday Book, grouped in seasonal, unfolding stages (Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer), intimately portrays the entire emotional process of being reborn via later-in-life genetic discovery. Thanks to transparent truths about heritage, all misattributed people can sensitively create a family heirloom from the reflections that this innovative, pictorial journal will enable. Nice job!
The Re-Birthday Book is indispensable in rebuilding identity after a misattributed parentage experience (MPE) and DNA surprise. There are so many questions that come up when navigating this discovery and the Re-Birthday Book helps put things into perspective and make choices you could easily get stuck in without the guidance of the Re-Birthday prompts.
