Own your stories.
Build your values.
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 grounded and connected, knowing their story, their family's values, and exactly who they are.
There are tools for all families, and tools for particular ones — families navigating adoption, donor conception, LGBTQ+ family-building, divorce, and more.
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.
Start with a free exercise, or let me walk you through it on a call. Either way, you end up with your family's values in your child's words — on paper, on the wall, and in the things you say every day.

The tools I needed weren't out there — so I built them.
