The following text comes from the back cover:
"Shortly after they married in 2005, Jaclyn and Joshua Johnston felt called to adopt children one day. After several years and a few moves around the country, they are now excited to be in the process of an international adoption. Because the process is quite costly, they have collaborated with local photographers on this perpetual calendar to raise some of the funds necessary for their home study; agency, legal, and country fees; and international travel. They are grateful to the photographers who donated images to this project and to everyone who has supported them by buying a calendar.
