On May 5 (that's tomorrow!) Union will publish her children's book, Welcome to the Party (opens in new tab), which, according (opens in new tab) to HarperCollins, was "inspired by the eagerly awaited birth of her daughter."

Speaking to TODAY Parents in January 2019, a few months after Kaavia's birth, Union shared her experiences of infertility (opens in new tab) and her anxieties about ultimately opting for surrogacy. "I’m so glad I got over myself and my fear of what people would think of me if I did not carry my own child,” she said. "It’s okay to bring your child into the world in a way that is not through your body. The world will not consider you a failure. Every route to parenthood is perfect, worthwhile and amazing."
Of baby Kaavia, Union said, "She brings us all the joy we could have ever imagined but there’s this extra layer. She is dreams fulfilled." She continued, "She is the living embodiment of not giving up. I never thought this little girl could represent so much.”
