Support Karlos Dillard's National Book Tour

Bringing Truth to Light—One City at a Time

Karlos Dillard, author of Ward of the State: A Memoir of Foster Care and Ward of the State: Abort the Adoption, has a dream—to take his powerful story across the country and connect with the people who need to hear it most. His books expose the painful realities of the foster care and adoption systems, the abuse he endured, and the resilience that carried him through.

With Abort the Adoption, Karlos is shedding light on the experiences of adoptees who have been silenced for too long. A national book tour will give him the opportunity to share his story, engage in meaningful conversations, and continue advocating for foster youth, adoptees, birth families, and systemic reform.

Travel expenses (flights, lodging, transportation)

Venue rentals for book signings and speaking engagements

Live-streaming and recording events for those who can’t attend in person

Personal assistant support to handle logistics, scheduling, and coordination—ensuring Karlos can focus on advocacy and engagement
