The back cover of this book explains the early journey of our children in this adoption process. We (Oma and Opa) participated in the journey by taking our grandson (their son), Jabin, to Albania for support.

The name, Kabooballa, comes from bedtime stories made up by Great Grandpa Dieleman as he taught lessons to us through a little boy who he called Kabooballa.

Every child has his or own unique story. The book could easily be modified to tell the special story of our other grandchildren, Porter, Jabin and Lyndin ... and any others that God chooses to provide.
