Ree first revealed news about having a foster son through her book, "Frontier Follies." In 2020, she offered a special preview of the book on her blog, which included details about Jamar.

She clarified that she did not discuss Jamar publicly in her book because of the strict rules from the state agency responsible for fostering regarding the posting of foster children on social media. Additionally, she expressed her protective instincts for Jamar, wanting to respect his preferences regarding attention and privacy.

She explained the move came after Jamar turned 18 and the state agency's restrictions no longer applied.

She also stated that Jamar was "tired of feeling" like she was hiding him from the world.
