Born in the mountains of Guatemala and adopted to save her life, Camey Joy shares her miraculous story of survival, adoption, and redemption, reminding the world that every story is worth saving. GET YOUR COPY OF ‘BEAUTIFULLY SCARRED’ DALLAS, TEXAS | OCTOBER 21, 2025 — November is National Adoption Month, and author, speaker, and singer Camey Joy is using her powerful true story to spotlight the life-changing impact of adoption. In her debut memoir, Beautifully Scarred, Camey shares her journey from being born in the mountains of Guatemala with a bilateral cleft lip and palate to finding a forever family who said “yes” when doctors said she wouldn’t survive. Through decades of surgeries, rejection, and restoration, she discovered that being chosen twice, once by a family who gave her life and again by a Savior who gave her purpose, was the heart of her story all along. “Adoption didn’t just save my life,” Camey says. “It showed me what grace looks like. I learned that love doesn’t have to look like you to rescue you.” Her book, available now on Amazon, and her accompanying five-day YouVersion devotional, both invite readers to see how God transforms every scar; physical, emotional, or spiritual, into a testimony of His grace. As the nation recognizes the millions of children whose lives have been changed through adoption, Camey hopes her story will bring encouragement to families considering adoption and healing to those who have walked through it. “My prayer is that people understand adoption isn’t just about rescuing a child, it’s about reflecting God’s heart,” she shares. “Every ‘yes’ has the power to change generations.” Camey’s ultimate vision is to see Beautifully Scarred become a feature film, a story that will remind the world that no past is too damaged for redemption and that beauty often rises from the places we least expect.
